The mountain is calling.
Answer from above.
Tandem flights, learn-to-fly courses and guided cross-country tours with certified pilots — above twelve of the world's most spectacular launch sites.
Flight
Built by pilots who chase thermals, not trends
AERIS was founded by competition pilots who believed a flight school should feel less like a ticket queue and more like an expedition base camp.
Fifteen years later we fly from twelve launch sites across three continents — but every takeoff still follows the same ritual: read the sky, brief the plan, and never launch on a schedule when the weather says wait.
- APPI & BHPA certified instructors on every flight
- Wings inspected daily, retired early, logged openly
- Maximum four students per instructor — always
- Free rescheduling when conditions don't cooperate

What our pilots say
“My first tandem over Chamonix was the calmest hour of my life. The pilot narrated every thermal we worked — by the time we landed I'd already booked the beginner course.”
“The seven-day course took me from nervous ground-handling to launching solo with confidence. Patient, exacting instruction — and a community I still fly with every season.”
“Five days of guided XC with retrieve support at every landing — flawless logistics and unforgettable flying. I learned more than in two seasons flying alone.”
