Baptism of the air Haute-Corse

In the heart of the pine forest lies a superb sports park with numerous workshops for thrill-seekers of all ages! For the more intrepid, Altore offers canyoning in the Cap Corse or a tandem paragliding experience. Unforgettable microlight flights over Saint-Florent also allow you to discover the Isle of Beauty from the air. For the less adventurous, tree-climbing and zip-line courses are good options. In all cases, you can expect to take to the skies!

Adjacent to the beach at Pigna, the Ghisonaccia center is one of the only ultralight schools in Corsica. Managed by Alain Quilici and co-supervised by Nicolas Duriani, the school offers glider pilots the chance to discover gliding, as well as to take the ULM Pilot's Certificate during the summer or throughout the year. Recently, a free, comfortable camping area, complete with dining area and barbecue shelter, has been set up for summer pilots. Perfect for a perfect first flight!

For a first tandem flight, contact the club and make an appointment with an experienced tandem pilot. The meeting point is usually at the Cervione landing stage, at around 9 a.m., to take the shuttle up to La Scubiccia. The flight takes place between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., depending on the weather. You'll need good boots, pants and a jacket, even in summer. You'll fly over Cervione, facing the sea, and land below the village. Get ready for a breathtaking panorama!

Since 2006, Airscapades, Corsica's paramotor school, has been offering the theoretical and practical courses required to obtain a paramotor pilot's license, in intensive or long-term courses. Airscapades also offers tandem first flights. Comfortably seated in the harness, you'll take off over 30 meters, then fly for 10 minutes over the seaside, with a breathtaking panorama. Finally, you'll land softly, with a smile on your face. A wonderful souvenir!
