Aerotrek

Turning an affinity for this local mountain range into a business inspired by region's infamous thermals, Aerotrek might be based on ground level - but they've definitely got their head in the clouds.

Operating tandem paragliding flights in the Haute Pyrenees, Aerotrek offers trips across the infamous Col du Tourmalet - an iconic mountain pass that connects France to its Spanish neighbour.

A popular summit route that draws in cycling enthusiasts to its steep inclines during the Tour de France race and downhill junkies that use its flanks when it transforms into the ski resort of La Mongie come winter, Bagnères-de-Bigorre is in a constant state of motion - making it the perfect place to take to the skies!

The life's work of Olivier Elbet, the expert paragliding aficionado has accrued more than 3,000 flights in his 10 years in this picturesque location, making the local legend a regular sight in the skies above Campan - and the only man to fly all year round.

Offering a unique perspective on its snowcapped mountains and floral pastures, ride the high with Aerotrek!
