Independent, but never alone.
At Sky Summits, our Independent Trips are designed for experienced, self-reliant pilots who want the perfect balance of organisation, community, and freedom. We take care of logistics—accommodation, airport transfers, and local transport—so you can focus fully on flying. You’ll share the adventure with like-minded pilots, enjoying the atmosphere of a group trip without the structure of daily guiding.
These trips give you the flexibility to plan your own flying, while still benefitting from support of a Sky Summits team pilot who will provide local knowledge, site introductions, weather briefings, mountain transport, tracking and retrieves and also emergency support in case of any incident.
