What people are saying about Haute-Savoie

I loved the experience, the weather at the beginning was not so favorable since it was cloudy and there was not much visibility, but with a little patience it was achieved in an incredible way, also the perfume that the pines have is so intense that in the flight it shows, thanks phillip :)

Contact for local business was kind and helpful in getting me to the meeting spot. My pilot was incredible. I have a weak left leg with very little feeling from knee to ankle. Pill t was very patient and got another pilot to help me stand during takeoff

It was an amazing experience, The pilot was really nice. I would recommend it. You can ask for videos and pictures for 30 Euros, they give you the SD card with all the pictures and videos.

We had a wonderful experience. Sigrid and Clement were the ultimate professionals but still fun. It was all very quick but you felt completely at ease with them.

Absolutely stunning experience. I would do it thousand times more if I could.
