Hang gliding
The Dordogne is famed for its birds of prey, such as Red Kites, and you too can experience a bird's eye view of the valleys by learning to hang glide from as little as £16 for a solo flight...
Experience the freedom of the skies and build up to your first solo hang gliding flight in the Dordogne over three to five days.

Beginning on the exciting Bana-Bana you will soar into the air connected to a 300-metre cable. Ideal for young and old, this can be a one-off activity or used as part of your ongoing hang gliding development. |
 |
Your next step will take you flying in tandem with a qualified instructor across the beautiful valleys and rivers of the Dordogne, before moving on to the Pente Ecole Delta - a miniature flying area where you and your fellow group members will learn the rudiments of piloting a hang glider, from taking off and landing, to keeping course and turning. |
 |
After this you will be ready for your first solo flight. Supported by two instructors, one when you take off and one when you land, they will have full contact with you throughout the short flight via VHF radio to help you along and ensure you get everything right, as well as enjoy the experience. Remember to let us know when you book that you would like to experience hang gliding. |
