What we will do
The rendezvous is at Marina di Patti, in the province of Messina. Upon arrival, we will be met by the pilot and, with the shuttle provided by the organisation (included), we will head to the take-off point on the northern Sicilian coast between Capo Calavà and Milazzo.
Once on take-off, we will have a quick briefing and will be provided with a harness and helmet. Now everything is ready, let's fly! We take off from a gentle descent into a hilly stretch. No free fall, just a few running-up steps together with the pilot and, before we know it, we will be suspended in the air.
During the flight, lasting about 20 minutes, we will fly over the northern coast of Sicily. We will take advantage of the thermal currents to climb up to 800 metres and enjoy the spectacular panorama beneath our feet. We will also be able to admire the Aeolian Islands in the distance, enclosed in the wonderful blue frame of the sky and the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The more courageous will also be able to ask the pilot to try a few aerobatics to complete the experience with the right adrenalin rush! The experience lasts about 1.5 hours and ends with a gentle landing, just a few steps away from the meeting point.
Who it is aimed at
The activity is open to everyone. The only requirements are age, as presence or parental permission is necessary for those under 18, and the weight of the participants, which must be between 25 kg and 100 kg.
No specific knowledge or special skills are needed, just a few steps and before you know it you'll be flying!
