The airfield sits at approximately 700 meters above sea level and serves as a launch point for motorless flights that rely on thermal and slope lift currents typical of this region. The wind carries the scent of thyme and pine, and the quiet of gliding envelops the surrounding terrain.

The Experience After an initial briefing, you’ll be towed by aircraft to around 700 meters to begin your dual-seat glider flight with a certified instructor. For up to three hours, you’ll glide silently over the Echo, Aragüés, and Aísa valleys, viewing iconic peaks such as Collarada and Bisaurín from the air. The feeling of freedom and the only sound of wind breaking the silence accompany every turn, as the instructor ensures a smooth and safe landing.
