We are living at one of the nicest part of the Pyrenees. Spain is 5 min flight from our house. Within a 100 km range there are about 30 airfields. The nearest one is Saint Girons (LFGH). There, you will always found some space in a hangar for your plane and it will be a pleasure for us to pick you up there.
For the pilots that are used to land in short mountain airfields, we dig a runway above our gites. The runway is on the side of the mountain. It is 300 meters long by grass at 3000 feet and at N 42.51.06 - E 1.17.47
The slope up is increasing the last 150 meters. There are often some animals grazing on the airfield. If you don't feel it, don't land. Go to Saint Girons airport. We will pick you up there and we will suply you with a car. (an old 2CV Citroen).
For anyone interested in air sports; rent a plane, an Ulm or a glider at St Girons airport at the foot of the Pyrenees.
And to improve your skills in mountain flying, this is the ideal place: the instructors are specialists.
For those who are not pilots, you can rent a plane (with pilot) for local flights over the mountains.
For novices, you can try out Ulm or glider aircraft or take flying lessons. Contact the airport. Their prices are reasonable. The instructors and pilots will go out of their way to please you. You will surely leave with unforgettable memories.
