Description

Context Panoramic flights in light aircraft depart from Santa Cilia Airfield, located 15 minutes by car from Jaca in the heart of the Aragonese Pre-Pyrenees. This region is renowned for its iconic rock formations, the Mallos de Riglos, which rise up to 300 meters in height, and for its rich cultural heritage, including the Castle of Loarre—one of the best-preserved Romanesque castles in Europe. As the light aircraft ascends, the crisp mountain air carries the scent of alpine flora.

The experience Board a light aircraft with a fully glazed cabin for a 15- to 30-minute flight. From your window seat, you’ll witness the Mallos de Riglos from above, admiring their towering vertical cliffs and the rugged terrain of the Pre-Pyrenees. You’ll also fly over the Castle of Loarre and the Monastery of San Juan de la Peña, capturing unforgettable photos with your camera. The quiet atmosphere and comfortable cabin temperature enhance the peaceful flight.

For whom This activity is ideal for families with children over 5 years old, photography enthusiasts, individuals with limited mobility who can access the airfield, and tourists interested in nature and history. It is not suitable for those with a fear of flying or for groups larger than three people.

Local context The region preserves a strong mountain culture and historical legacy. The Castle of Loarre and the Monastery of San Juan de la Peña are key historical landmarks reflecting centuries of Aragonese history, while the Mallos remain a major destination for climbers and nature lovers.
