The prestige flight is our most comprehensive package: 45 minutes to 1 hour of genuine tandem paragliding cross-country flight above the Azur Prealps. Follow the ridges of Cheiron like vultures and eagles, soar over the mountain to Coursegoules or along the Mediterranean coast. Acrobatic manoeuvres on request, panoramic views from Monaco to Cannes, and HD video included in the price. Absolute freedom, for €250.
Prestige membership · €250The prestige flight is our most comprehensive and immersive package. It's a true cross-country flight: instead of simply descending from takeoff to landing, your pilot uses thermals and dynamic updrafts to take you on an aerial journey above the Azur Prealps.
You follow the ridges of the Cheiron like birds of prey, along the ridges of the Maritime Alps.
You can reach the village of Coursegoules or longer along the coast depending on the day's conditions.
The acrobatic figures are an integral part of the experience spirals, stall turns and wing-overs if you fancy.
The flight duration is exceptional: 45 minutes to 1 hour of air, which is double that of a upward flight. This is the flight chosen by those who want to experience paragliding as pilots do.
The ascent flight lasts 20 to 30 minutes, with gentle acrobatics on request and local thermals. The prestige flight lasts 45 minutes to 1 hour, includes aerobatic manoeuvres and video, and sets off cross-country on the ridges. If you are discovering the activity for the first time first paragliding experience, prestige remains accessible as long as you're comfortable with thrills.
The Prestige Flight is a truly unique experience. You’ll set off on a cross-country flight, following the ridgelines and venturing off the beaten track. Depending on the day’s weather conditions, your pilot will take you soaring over the peaks, with views of the Mercantour and the Mediterranean. Suitable even for first-time flyers or thrill-seekers.
Unlike other packages where the video option costs €30, the Prestige flight includes the video at no extra charge. Your instructor films the entire flight with an onboard camera, and you leave with an SD card to share.
The prestige flight is for those who want an extraordinary experience, paragliding as the pilots practise it.
If this is your first flight, the prestige flight is still accessible. However, we recommend that you are comfortable with the idea of strong sensations (spirals, stalls). If you prefer a gentler flight to start with, opt for the upward flight.
From 7 years old (parental consent for minors), no age limit if physical condition is suitable. No minimum weight for children, maximum 90 kg. The youngest are directed towards child flight.
The prestige flight is not recommended in cases of severe heart problems, pregnancy, or severe motion sickness (the spirals can be intense). If you are unsure or suffer from motion sickness or seasickness, start with an ascent flight: you can always come back for the prestige. If in doubt, contact us via the page contact.
The prestige flight is a completely atypical experience, with details defined the day before according to weather conditions. Allow approximately 3 hours on-site (travel, long flight, and return).
The Prestige flight is our all-inclusive package. Unlike other flights, video is included free of charge: at €250, no extras to consider.
We do a weather check every day at 8 p.m. If conditions are not optimal (too windy, rain, storm), we will postpone your flight free of charge, with a voucher valid for 12 months.
The Prestige flight offers a range of exceptional experiences, from soaring along the ridgelines to the most challenging aerobatic manoeuvres. You choose the intensity; your instructor will adapt accordingly.
You don't just descend: you travel. Your pilot follows the ridges, using every thermal, every updraft. You can far exceed the take-off altitude and travel several kilometres.
Engaging rotations where the G-force increases: a pure sensation of speed, one of the most impressive figures in aerobatic paragliding.
Sudden climbs followed by a lurch, the stomach lifting: the sensation of weightlessness for a brief moment, before plunging again.
Dynamic lateral balancers, an aerial surfing sensation from side to side, in rhythm with the sail.
Depending on the day’s itinerary: Option Mercantour (snow-capped peaks, rugged valleys, 360° views) or the coastal route (Monaco, Cap Ferrat, the Mediterranean stretching as far as the eye can see).
Despite the thrills, these moments of pure, silent gliding remain magical: it's the soul of paragliding.
The prestige flight allows us to explore several sites, depending on conditions. Our main site is Gréolières, on the ridges of the Cheiron at an altitude of 1,800 metres.
The site and itinerary are chosen the day before to offer you the best possible flight. It is this flexibility that makes the prestige flight a unique experience every time. To discover our playground, also browse our paragliding day at Gréolières and all of our paragliding flights.

Yes! Unlike the other packages where the video option costs €30, the prestige flight includes HD video. Your instructor films with an onboard camera throughout the flight. You'll leave with an SD card containing exceptional footage of your adventure.

The prestige flight is a true cross-country flight that is entirely dependent on the weather conditions. Depending on the winds, thermals, and visibility, we will choose the best site and the best route to offer you an optimal experience. This is what makes every prestige flight unique.
The difference is justified by: double the flight duration (45 min - 1 hour vs 20-30 min), HD video included (€30), a cross-country flight route instead of a local flight, and full aerobatic manoeuvres. In terms of experience/price ratio, the prestige flight offers much more content.
It's even one of our most memorable gifts! For a special birthday, a hen or stag do, or simply to offer an unforgettable experience, the prestige flight with its included video is the perfect gift. The recipient will leave with memories and images to share. Discover our gift vouchers.
At Gréolières, we fly all year round thanks to the Mediterranean climate, except from January to mid-February. The high season (March to November) offers the best thermal conditions and longer flights. In summer, opt for morning flights to avoid the afternoon turbulence. In winter, flights are shorter but the snow-covered landscapes are magical. We always adjust our schedules according to the day’s weather.
