RION-DES-LANDES

"Discover gliding, a nature sport"
The glider is an aircraft without an engine, which relies on air currents to move. A tow aircraft tows it up to a height of 500 meters, and then ... it's silent flight with the birds!
The association offers flights in two-seater gliders over the Landes forest. From there you can see the whole of the Pyrenees, the Dune du Pilat, the Spanish coast ... These initiation flights (VI) last 20 to 30 minutes depending on the weather conditions.
But you can also try your hand at piloting with 1 to 3 day "initiation packs" or 3 to 6 day "discovery packs". A good way to "test" this nature sport and perhaps then pass your glider pilot's license..
