Our centers will tell you that almost everyone can fly a helicopter. However, there are certain safety measures that are necessary. Some aerodromes, such as Lasbordes, reserve the right to refuse a person weighing more than 12.5 stone (80 kg). However, it is still possible elsewhere! For the same reasons, it is not recommended to take pregnant women or babies on board the helicopter. On the other hand, if you have no medical contraindications, you can go and enjoy without limitations.

When is the best time to take one of these tours?

Our staff offers flights to the pink city all year round. You can do the excursion at any time of the day, as long as the weather conditions are good. However, a helicopter flight in winter does not offer the same experience as in autumn, or in any other season. During the winter season, you will be able to admire the snowy peaks of the Ariège Pyrenees, while in spring, you will be able to contemplate the deep green forests and maquis groves, mixed with the beautiful blue of the sky, as well as the pinkish roofs of the city. You can choose according to your tastes and desires.

How to dress on the day of the activity?

Temperatures at altitude are similar to those on the ground, so we advise you to dress accordingly. In Toulouse, you will enjoy a mostly moderate climate all year round, allowing you to make the most of your flight. In winter, temperatures rarely drop below 4 degrees Celsius. However, if you’re cold during this period, or hot in summer, all our team's helicopters are equipped with heating and ventilation systems. Comfortable and seasonally appropriate clothing will be enough.

So, whether you are from the area or you are on holidays, this experience is always a good way to discover new places and see things from another angle. It will allow you to feel unique during an exceptional flight.
