Wonderful experience with a very nice and professional team; the conditions didn't allow us to fly 40mn as planned, but you can't control everything, and the price was adjusted to the actual duration of the flight; A great time in such a beautiful space👌

Great experience! I wanted to do this activity with my father, we both had quite different flights even though we chose exactly the same thing, because my father was sick (but still enjoyed the activity). Thanks to Arthur who took care of him. For my part, I loved the sensations and the incredible view. So thanks to Christophe for this experience, which was also very pleasant in his company. (And for taking me up into the clouds 🤩) Thanks to the entire team, the shuttle driver, as well as the K2 paragliding reception team.
