Roving Sessions


So you are ready to fly over our beautiful country? Holders of the initial pilot degree and more, A Tire d'Ailes invites you to a week of great flights!

The adventure begins here, with the roving curse: Departure from Embrun on monday morning, full days of flights and travel, nights in lodges and big atmosphere guaranteed! Return on weekends. "A Tire d'Ailes" means "To fly swiftly away", isn't it?



Différent Ones:

Around Gap: Valgaudemar, Trièves, Dévoluy, Luberon, Buëch... Such a beauty!

Southern Alps: A roving session which links the most prestigious spots of the southern alps: Digne, Saint-André, Moustiers, Gourdon and which ends at the sea level, Roquebrune Cap Martin. A swimming party in the Big Blue on saturday morning, just before to go back to Embrun. Excellent!

Northern Alps: A trip for Xcountry riders who want to fly for long distance flights on famous spots: Saint-Hilaire, Annecy, Bourg-Saint-Maurice...



Nota


We do usually aim a trip but we can decide at the latest moment to change it: paragliders we are and we'll always go where the weather forecast seems to be the best to fly.

TRAVELS

Around the world

The paragliding globe-trotter is a privileged person; as every tourist he discovers a country, visits its sites, disorientates to the contact with an other population and different landscapes, travels and lives in a differnet way ... But the 3rd dimension brings a much more complete vision of his journey!
In addition, paragliding generates many spontaneous sympathies ... Doors open fast, communication is easy, the interest for our passion is immediate. The dream of flying would be universal?

Warning

Do not look in the specialist publications for the calendar travel " A Tire d'Ailes "; our itinerants and journeys are reserved for our students.
We haveto know you before taking you to fly around the world!
A just evaluation of your level as a pilot and what is your equipment seems indispensable to us, to minimize the risks...
We also look for a certain compatibility between your ambitions, your skill, your state of mind and what we propose.
By the way, we would not accept the presence of a pilot who would go to flirt with the limits of the safety, or whom enthusiasm would be not communicative enough!
Positive attitude please?




YiiiHAaaa... !
