Drone aerial video in Gap

Free quote — aerial video in Gap

In Gap, aerial video plays with the relief: climbs along the slopes, tilts over the ridges, wide shots of the town set against the peaks. Rare cinematic ground that demands precise handling of winds and elevation. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Gap and its department (05) match equipment and flight plan to each order.

Prefecture of the Hautes-Alpes and France's highest prefecture (735 m), Gap is the gateway to the southern Alps: twenty minutes away, Lake Serre-Ponçon — western Europe's largest artificial reservoir — with the Saint-Michel chapel on its islet; to the north, the Écrins massif. Two major vigilance points: Gap-Tallard aerodrome (LFNA), one of Europe's leading skydiving and light-aviation centres, generates intense drop-zone traffic; and the core of the Écrins National Park bans drones, with motorised overflight prohibited below 1,000 metres. Gap's economy blends administration, Alpine commerce, four-season tourism and hill farming.

The airspace context in Gap

A shoot in Gap needs lead time: the overflight ban (Cœur du Parc national des Écrins : drones interdits) requires a specific authorisation per flight plan, filed well ahead of the shoot date — we build it into the production schedule.

A drone shoot follows open-category rules in clear areas and moves to the specific category (STS-01, prior declaration) as soon as it flies over a populated zone; productions receive insurance certificates and permits. Full regulations and rates: aerial video across France →
