Corinne has been in Pemberton since 1997. She learned how to fly in the Alps with Valery Montant and Pascal Piazzalunga in 1993 at the age of 19.
Born in Geneva Switzerland, she grew up flying in “Le Saleve” where she later was ran a restaurant called “Café des Crets” from 1999 to 2002, right from launch! The passion of paragliding was in her blood since the first sight. Originally she was watching the hangliders landing beside her in Geneva on regular basis until the first paragliders started to appear from Le Saleve. There was no question this new sport would be curving her life to where she lives now and what she does including her marriage with super flying man Jim Orava.
Corinne has recorded thousands of flights around the world in over 20 countries and hundreds of different flying sites on foot or on skis. A lifetime of experience in the sport and the development in paragliding equipment makes Corinne a high level pilot in our Sport .

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US
Testimonial
“Flying with Jim, a master pilot, was the most awesome experience flying that I’ve ever had. Even though I have 150 hours paragliding, I learned more in that flight than I could have ever learned on my own attempts at xc. And if you like roller coaster rides, the acro… exhilarating to say the least! The view of the Pemberton valley, mountain ridges and glaciers is absolutely breathtaking! Whether you have never been paragliding, or if you are already a pilot, I highly recommend treating yourself and/or giving a gift to a loved one for an unforgettable ultimate experience of a lifetime.”
Ian W“Jim and Corinne pioneered paraglider flight in the area and remain the most current of the local flying gurus. I went to them 5 years ago for my first tandem and instruction and have since enjoyed a safe and rewarding career as they continue to offer a ton of guidance and support. Corinne has spent countless hours ordering gear for me and coordinating repairs. They are dealers for the best brands like Niviuk, Nervures, Sup’air, and Neo, which is why I have purchased at least 6 gliders from them over the years! Thank you for everything!”
Jason Kruk“If you want to fly and learn paragliding with the best of the world, you are at the right place ! I flew with Coco and Jim and I liked so much that I booked a flight for my Dad and sister too. They had a blast too and that day was probably one of the best in our life!”
Pearl Winchester“This was my first flight ever and I had a wonderful time! Corinne made me very relaxed before we took off and then all of a sudden we were in the air. We were so high, I could see the Pemberton Icecap on the west side of the Pemberton Valley. Quite an experience. Would recommend Cayoosh Paragliding to everyone!”
