    Each morning we’ll break down the forecast using synoptic charts, wind profiles and the Skew-T.

  • LESS THEORY. MORE FLYING.

    Half the battle is understanding the day, starting with the route brief.

    From there we’ll choose the optimal route for the conditions, highlighting key sections and efficient lines.

  • WE GET YOU HOME

    Challenging goals, simple retrieves and large landing options throughout the route.

    If you land out, just drop a pin and we’ll come get you.

  • WHO'S IT FOR

    Experienced alpine pilots looking for a guided week in the main Alps.

DAILY RUN THROUGH

We brief the evening before, reviewing the forecast and setting the plan for the following days. Launch times are adjusted to conditions, typically around 11:00–12:00.

Sites such as the Dolomites (approx. 2 hours drive) and Speikboden (slightly further) are chosen based on the day.

On site, we keep the morning briefing short and focused: route, turnpoints and key sections, plus how best to fly the task.

Kelly flies with the group at the pace of the day.

Debriefs are short and informal, with discussion on route choice, execution and alternatives.
