How Do I Fly?

Take a ride up the top of the Skyline Gondola, then head to our office which is located behind the Cafe. You will then be meet by one of our pilots. After a short chairlift ride and a scenic walk up through the pine forests to our launching area you will be given a simple briefing on take off and landing. Its that simple – absolutely no experience necessary.

Please dress appropriately for the conditions.
Sturdy footwear is highly recommended. A reasonable level of fitness is required as there is an uphill walk to the launch site and a brief run is required to inflate the glider and take off. Please call us to discuss any health issues you feel may limit your ability in this area.
