Practical info
Equipment
No specific gear required since the physical level is open to everyone, but dress in layers: temperatures at altitude over Canigou run noticeably colder than on the ground in Perpignan. Keep your hands free and bring a fully charged phone or camera for the views.
Getting there
Head directly to Hélittoral Hélicoptères at Avenue Maurice Bellonte, 66000 Perpignan, which sits adjacent to Perpignan Airport and is reachable by taxi from the city centre in under 15 minutes.
