Nicolas Cochet

The adventure began as a teenager for Nicolas, whom everyone simply calls Nico. His younger brother swept him into what was a bit of a wild madness at the time: paragliding. What started as an early spark transformed into a lasting family story. Today, he still shares vol-biv adventures with his brother, and it is with immense joy that he passes this love of the air down to his children, savoring every moment shared together in the sky.

Living just a few hundred meters from the official take-offs in Saint-Hilaire, Nico combines his daily job and his lifestyle as a pilot. As Ozone’s Product and Marketing Manager, he balances full days behind the computer with the luxury of talking about his passion every day with an inspiring team and community. For Nico, the outdoors is a year-round playground that shifts with the seasons. When he isn't under a wing, you can find him ski touring far from the crowds, climbing, wingfoiling, or mountain biking. There is always a toy ready for the day’s conditions, and his camera is always close by to capture these moments with friends.

"Beyond the incredible sensation and the freedom it brings, flying is a way to escape, to live in the moment. I am a contemplative pilot, not looking for performance. Flying is a meditation. In three dimensions."
