Ramon Sanmartí
Cofounder, instructor and tandem pilot
He has also been looking down on the world from the skies for over 15 years and he has glided over the 4 continents. Ramon’s other passions are mountaineering and snow sports. In the winter you may easily find him practicing Alpine skiing or Telemark…
Oriol Mayora
Instructor and tandem pilot
He’s the juggler in the team. When we’re bored, we give him 4 stones or a monocycle and he entertains us… on top of that he flies and skis. He is an excellent paragliding and ski instructor and you quickly realize that he’s passionate about teaching. His patience is almost infinite…
Joan Cordon
Tandem pilot
He is, possibly, the most experienced tandem pilot in Catalunya. He’s the concentrated essence of free-flight. By mistake he was born human but he should have been a vulture… He is as passionate, or more, about flying and transmitting the magic of flight as the first day that this sport captivated him.
Entrenúvols is a Paragliding school that was funded in 2001 by paragliding and nature enthusiasts, the mission of our school is to promote Free Flight and the Àger valley.
Our school is integrated by professionals passionate about Free Flight that have turned their passion into their means of living. This makes it easier for us to transmit our passion more naturally. We don’t really have a very clear boundary between work and fun…
At Entrenúvols we’ve tried to move away from the standard way of life of racing to work to earn more, to spend more. We believe that the main values in life are not money and possessions but to be able to earn your living doing something you like, in a place that you like.
This doesn’t mean that we don’t need money to live, or that we’re on the fringes of legality, it’s certainly the opposite. Because of its nature, our work needs to be well within legality. We also believe that our workers and ourselves deserve a decent job, pay and conditions.
In this regard, our challenge is to find the balance between living where and how we want, trying to keep out of the consumer trap but at the same time offering our customers a high quality service with all the legal guarantees.
