Microlight Grand Tour
Eagle School of Microlighting, Bright, VIC

Set off on a microlight – a powered hang glider – and view the awe-inspiring Australian Alps from a truly privileged vantage point.

Take the time to absorb the grandeur of the wooded high country and the patchwork river valleys surrounding the picturesque resort town of Bright. As you rise to an incredible 6000 feet, you'll circle the spectacular Mt Buffalo gorge and waterfalls, and the alpine village plateau. In winter, see the majesty of Australia's snow-capped ski peaks, stretching from Mt Buller to Mt Bogong and beyond, and skim above the frozen Lake Catani.

Take the controls for a while, and when your pilot flicks off the engine you begin your gentle, soundless journey back to terra firma. This slow descent will leave you with images that stay in your mind's eye forever.
