Format
The Centre École de Parachutisme de la Bigorre is based at Tarbes–Laloubère airfield, beside the northern Pyrenean foothills. Mountains provide the horizon while the experience starts at an aviation facility close to the city. A tandem combines an aircraft flight, freefall and a parachute descent with an instructor. Moving between these phases defines the experience, so discuss the complete visit beforehand. Nearby accommodation makes schedule changes easier to absorb. Both the jump and mountain visibility depend on weather; a particular summit should never be guaranteed as part of the view.
