The BEST France Gliding Experiences in 2022 - en.Yumping.fr

1. It's accessible to all

There is no age limit to enjoy a glider flight, however, for safety points relating to the size of the parachute, access is granted from the age of 12. From 14 years old, you can fly alone with a ground supervisor. What’s more interesting is that if you are 16 years old or over, you can opt to pass the certificate to fly alone without the supervision of a manager. This can be done via the multiple offers made available on the site with the help of our partners. So, you are free to choose the format that suits you - flying solo or with a friend to enjoy this smooth and light experience. People of all ages whether young and old can find a slot according to your availability as long as you are in good physical condition!

3. For close contact with nature

A glider flight helps you connect immensely with nature. This plunges you into the heart of a beautiful landscape with a magnificent panorama and you will be able to see the beauty of the place for yourself. This is an opportunity to escape the trivialities of city life, to recharge your batteries and strengthen your ties with nature. It’s a feeling of unparalleled freedom! Imagine a flight of the type in the Hautes-Alpes, towards Gap, where you will fly over the lake Serre-Ponçon in the open air, the Dévoluy massif, the Pic du Bure, Charance, the mountain of Céüse and so many other places. It is relaxation and discovery, combined!

5. Strong sensations felt

As you know, only updrafts in the atmosphere allow gliders to move, because they are designed to fly without an engine. And, since piloting is similar to that of an airplane, you will experience the same sensations, an atypical, singular adrenaline rush. When you get pulled over to reach sufficient altitude, it will be a moment of immense pleasure. When you fly, you will be able to reach over 100 km / h. You can take the areas of descent or when you go upwind while retaining your finesse to continue your flight.
