Description

Context The panoramic flight in a light aircraft over the National Park of Ordesa and the Aragonese Pyrenees departs from the Santa Cilia airfield, located just 15 minutes from Jaca. This protected natural area features iconic peaks such as Tendeñera and Collarada, both exceeding 2,900 meters in elevation, and offers a diverse landscape of valleys, glacial formations, and alpine lakes. The fully glazed cabin of the Robin DR400 aircraft provides exceptional visibility, allowing passengers to clearly observe the intricate details of the mountain terrain from above.

The Experience After boarding the light aircraft, a certified pilot begins the takeoff toward the heart of the Pyrenees. During the flight, passengers soar over the National Park of Ordesa, the Monastery of Leyre, and the Castle of Loarre, observing their architectural forms and textures from above. Fresh mountain air and the scent of pine accompany the sensation of flying like a bird of prey, as sunlight streams through the cabin windows, illuminating the alpine landscape.

For Whom This activity is suitable for individuals with sufficient mobility to remain seated and within the established weight limits. Ideal for families with children aged two and older, couples, or small groups seeking a safe and comfortable aerial view of the Pyrenees. Not recommended for individuals with severe fear of flying or those requiring special assistance.

Local Context The Santa Cilia airfield offers a welcoming atmosphere with a restaurant and swimming pool, integrating into the local community that values environmental conservation. The region’s long-standing tradition of aviation combines deep respect for the mountain landscape with modern aeronautical innovation, reflecting a cultural appreciation for both nature and regional heritage in Aragon.
