An aerial adventure in the heart of the Cévennes

Welcome to the Chanet plain, at the crossroads of Florac-Trois-Rivières, Sainte-Enimie, and Meyrueis. In the heart of the Causse Méjean, discover and experience a sport as little-known as it is exhilarating, as aerial as it is natural: gliding. Ever dreamed of seeing the Causse Méjean from above? Flying with vultures? Experiencing pure thrills? Or simply taste the joy of engineless flight? You’re in the right place! In a glider, every flight is an adventure: silent, elegant, and in perfect harmony with nature.

How does gliding work?

In practice, the glider lifts off by being towed by an airplane. Once high enough, the pilot releases the tow rope connecting the glider to the airplane, and thus begins the noblest form of aviation: gliding. Like a bird of prey, the glider pilot searches for rising air currents. Once sufficient altitude is reached, it’s possible to soar over the Causse Méjean and above the Gorges du Tarn.
