YOUR DRIVER: Yannick Epenoy
Born in Savoie, I developed a passion for sport from an early age, particularly board sports.
Very young, I became a ski instructor and discovered the paraglider in the Alps in 1997.
After ten years of practicing and teaching paragliding in the Alps, I discovered the unmissable site of the Pilat dune and decided to settle down there.
15 years after discovering this site and after thousands of flights, I am still amazed by its beauty. Flying a paraglider on the Pyla dune is always a magical experience that I want to share with you in cool or fun flight according to your desires.
