J'ai réalisé un stage initiation du 18 octobre au 22 octobre dans la structure, les moniteurs (Arnaud et Yves) ont été géniaux, ils ont tous les deux une véritable passion pour le parapente, un goût à nous apprendre leur passion et à nous la transmettre c'est impressionnant !

Les conditions météorologiques s'annonçaient compliquées, mais nos deux moniteurs ont su faire en fonction pour nous proposer une semaine de qualité, tant en terme de formation qu'en terme humain.

Les autres membres de la structure sont tous très sympathiques, l'accueil est excellent et ils ne sont pas avares de conseils.

En bref, une excellente structure, des moniteurs impliqués et un cadre... exceptionnel.

Je recommande les yeux fermés.

Très bon accueil, merci à Micka et Olivier pour leur bonne humeur et leur professionnalisme. Un juste équilibre qui m'a permis de reprendre confiance en moi après 5 ans sans voler.
A bientôt j'espère ?

I did my first flight 4 years ago and I decided to offer the same experience to my father for his birthday. We both fell in love with the experience but also with our guide Sylvain who quickly put us at ease! An exhilarating flight!!! "Send my man!" Thank you!
