INTRODUCTORY FLIGHTS in a Glider

Glider flights around Annecy, Chamonix, Mont-Blanc

A Gentle Introduction to Soaring

Why Take a First Glider Flight?

If you’ve never flown before, this is the perfect opportunity to discover what it truly means to soar. Depending on your preference, the flight can be smooth and peaceful — gliding above the peaks in a serene, contemplative atmosphere — or more technical and dynamic, exploring the art of using air currents like birds do, riding thermals and mountain ridges.

A glider flight is a direct connection to the sky — a natural experience and an immersion into the language of the wind.

Breathtaking views of the Alps

Safe flight with an expert

Excellente expérience, vol de 4h avec un pilote qui m'a fait confiance au point de me laisser piloter pendant de longues minutes, des figures à la fin du vol (à ma demande), des discussions très intéressantes ainsi que des paysages à couper le souffle. Je recommande à 100% pour un souvenir inoubliable !

What an experience flying to the Matterhorn and back. The views, the experience of seeing people walking the peaks so high above sea level and seeing hangliders so high up!!! Almost one year later I think back and smile, one off my Bucket List. Additionally as a student solo glider pilot myself there was plenty of opportunity offered by Gabriel for me to take control and experience flying up in the mountains and so close to the rock face!!!! Gabriel himself is a very affable guy, an experienced pilot and instructor who runs a very tight ship. I am paralysed from the chest down so a permanent wheelchair user which presented no problem to Gabriel and his colleague who I needed to help me board the glider safely. I cannot recommend Soaring Adventures and the experience of flying through the mountains highly enough. Thank you 👍

Superbe expérience pour ma compagne en compagnie de Gabriel lors du survol des massifs alpins en planeur. La communication avec Gabriel est top, il est très sympathique et nous a transmis des photos et vidéos du vol. Le gros plus comparé aux autres vols en planeur est l’assurance de pouvoir profiter parfaitement des courants vu que le décollage se fait au moteur ce qui permet de choisir la zone où interrompre le moteur et planner.

My first touch to mountain soaring as a fresh glider pilot. Gabriel is indeed a great person and flight instructor! Also my wife had a brief flight, first time in glider. We enjoyed❣️ There was a slight delay before the flights due to an issue with plane battery. But otherwise, definitely 5 stars experience!

Gabriel is an extremely accomplished pilot and flies a beautiful Stemme. During my flights we experienced wave/ ridge/thermals and convergence allowing us to fly over the Matterhorn and Mt Blanc as well as glaciers during multiple beautiful alpine soaring days! All of my expectations and hopes came true thanks to his expertise! Can't wait to fly again on my next trip to Europe! I highly recommend this for the experience of a lifetime! Thanks Gabriel!!!

I had a wonderful experience with Gabriel! He explained that he is an aeronautical engineer, and it became apparent that he understood everything about his glider. A glider which is exceptional! Furthermore, I felt comfortable flying with Gabriel. I'm retired but used to be a professional pilot, and I learned a few things from him. I couldn't have asked for more and I highly recommend Gabriel!

Excellente découverte de vol en planneur avec Gabriel ! Il a répondu avec plaisir à toutes mes questions curieuses sur le fonctionnement de ce magnifique engin. Pendant que nous plannions aux abords d'une montagne, un Bouquetin des Alpes a surgit et courrait sous le planneur à quelques dizaines de mètres de nous. Un moment épique dans un cadre exceptionnel. C'est un moment que je n'oublierai pas !
