About this tour
Take the controls alongside a passionate local pilot for a private flight over the Doubs Valley. This one-hour sightseeing journey departs from Besançon-La Vèze aerodrome, where you'll plan your own route before takeoff. Your pilot covers fuel and operating costs only—this isn't a commercial tour, but a genuine cost-sharing flight between aviation enthusiasts. Flexible scheduling between 9am and 5pm, with up to four hours total availability to work around weather and pilot schedules.
Highlights
- Plot your own flight path with the pilot beforehand
- Sixty minutes airborne over the Doubs landscape
- Exclusive access to the private airclub lounge
- Pilot headset included for clear communication
- Non-commercial cost-sharing flight insured by Allianz
- Flexible morning or afternoon departure windows
What to expect
You'll meet your pilot directly at the aerodrome and walk through the planned route together before boarding the small aircraft. The flight itself lasts a full hour, giving you genuine time to absorb the region's geography and scenery. Expect a working partnership rather than a tourist experience—your pilot isn't performing for you, but sharing his local knowledge and passion for flying. Weather may force rescheduling, though you can flex your booking or claim a full refund. The whole process, including pre-flight briefing and post-flight chat, typically takes 2–4 hours from arrival.
Good to know
Book a time window; exact departure depends on pilot and aircraft availability. Passengers over 95kg should enquire beforehand. You'll need to provide full name, date of birth, and weight for EASA safety compliance. This is a fixed-wing aeroplane, not a helicopter. Public transport serves the aerodrome; arrange your own transport there.
