Do you like to take to the heights? If so, the glider platform of Habère-Poche - the only one in Haute-Savoie, which by the way celebrated its tenth year of existence in 2005 - will surely delight you. Take-off is quite a thrill: the windlass system designed to minimize environmental nuisance to the protected ecosystem of Haute-Savoie launches the glider about 350 to 450 m off the ground. After this impressive yet safe take-off, the horizon in its entirety unfurls before you: infinite calm and an uninterrupted view of Lake Léman and Mont-Blanc. You can share this moment of magic with our pilots, all of whom are impassioned gliders.
