Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch is the sharpest adrenaline spike: you run a few steps off the slope and the wing lifts you instantly. After that, the flight shifts into sustained exposure to altitude with panoramic views of the Gran Paradiso massif.
Do I need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
A degree of vertigo is normal at launch. Most first-timers report that once airborne, the sensation shifts from fear to pure focus. The pilot handles all controls, so your only job is to stay upright on takeoff.
How long are you actually in the air?
The total experience runs 3 hours, which includes transfer, briefing, the flight itself and landing. The airborne portion varies depending on thermals and weather conditions on the day.
When is the best time to fly over the Aosta Valley?
The season runs May through September. Mid-summer thermals (July and August) give the longest sustained flights, but book early since slots fill fast during peak weeks.

Equipment

Wear closed-toe shoes with ankle support and layer up: temperatures drop significantly at altitude above the Gran Paradiso even in summer. The session is rated "Occasionally sporty", so avoid bulky jackets that restrict movement during the 3-hour outing.

Getting there

The meeting point is at SP69, Borgofranco d'Ivrea, reachable by car from Aosta via the A5 motorway in roughly 45 minutes.
