 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Un superbe baptême de parapente en tandem avec ma sœur, chacune accompagnée d’un pilote. Sympas et détendus, Pierrot et Pierre-Yves nous ont tout de suite mises en confiance : aucune appréhension. Nous avons été agréablement surprises par la douceur du décollage et de l’atterrissage. Et entre les deux, des paysages magnifiques ! J’ai même pu prendre les commandes et diriger le parapente pendant quelques minutes… un vrai régal. Deux pilotes très professionnels, que nous recommandons sans hésiter pour un premier vol.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best day out, we did paragliding and then the canyoning. Great value for money and our instruction was excellent we always felt very safe.

I have done canyoning in a few countries and this was the best I have done by far. It was a beautiful gorge and had the clearest water.

We would book again if we ever came back to the area for sure!

Es war mein erster Flug, aber die Professionalität und lockere Atmosphäre hat mich gleich sicher fühlen lassen. Die Umgebung war perfekt für den Flug, super Ausblick und gutes Timing. Und der Fluglehrer hat sich an meine persönlichen Bedürfnisse direkt angepasst. Ich werde diese Schule auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.
