Full description
You go to Liguria, eat a nice focaccia and then what do you do? Hop on an ultralight and experience the thrill of flying for the first time, of course!
A30-minute flight in the company of an expert instructor who will pilot the craft and show you the pearls of the Ligurian Riviera.
A fun-filled flying baptism in which, if you wish, you can even take the controls for a few moments.
What we will do
We’ll meet in Villanova d’Albenga (SV), at the agreed meeting point.The instructor who will be guiding us throughout the experience will be waiting for us there.
First, we’ll make our way to the aircraft chosen for the activity. It’s a two-seater aircraft with dual controls. Right in front of our plane, the instructor will give us all the information we need to make the most of the experience during a short briefing.
Once we’ve settled into the passenger seat, we’ll enjoy the adrenaline rush of the moment. It will be a 30-minute introductory flight, during which we’ll satisfy our long-standing curiosity about what it feels like to fly alongside an experienced pilot. If we wish, we can ask the instructor to let us take the controls for a few moments; otherwise, all we need to do is put our trust in him for the duration of the activity.
Together, we’ll fly over Gallinara Island, the town of Alassio, and Capo Mele with its Italian Air Force base, and we’ll fall in love with the view of the Ligurian Riviera from above. We’ll head as far as Imperia, before turning back towards our starting point. If we’re very lucky, we might even spot pods of dolphins!
Once we’ve disembarked from the aircraft, it’ll be time to say our goodbyes, but not before collecting our flight certificate, which will serve as a memento when we recount the incredible adventure we’ve just experienced.
The total duration of the experience, including the briefing, is approximately 1 hour.
