Our support for your paraglider purchase

Free personal advice

Buying a paraglider represents an investment of between €3000 and €6000. We'll take the time to analyse your flying profile and guide you towards the wing best suited to your level, your total weight in flight, your type of flying and your objectives. You can call us or meet us at our school in Gréolières.

Pre-purchase flight test

Test the wing you are considering buying in real conditions at our flying sites (Gourdon, Gréolières, Col de Bleine). Flight supervised by a qualified instructor, full technical debriefing. Free if you buy via our advice. It's your guarantee of making the right choice before investing several thousand euros.

Local field expertise

We know the flying conditions in the Alpes-Maritimes inside out: powerful Mediterranean thermals, coastal breezes, demanding mountainous terrain. We'll recommend the right wing for the sites you're really going to fly: Gourdon, Gréolières, Col de la Sine, Roubion, Saint-André-les-Alpes.

Post-purchase follow-up included

Personalised harness adjustments, training to get to grips with your new equipment, advice on how to progress and support in the field. After your purchase, we'll be there to help you progress safely.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

I've just come out of training, should I buy straight away?

No! We recommend rent your first year to fly regularly without investing 4000-6000€ immediately. Monthly rental from 100€. This gives you time to define your needs before buying the perfect wing.

 

Complete ready-to-fly pack (glider + harness + reserve) for €150/month or €720/6 months. Regularly inspected school equipment, perfect for flying independently in your first year post-certificate. Flight or day hire also available.

After 6-12 months' hire, when you've accumulated 30-50 hours' flying time and you know exactly what type of pilot you are: touring, cross-country, hike-and-fly. Then we'll fit you out with a wing that's adapted to YOUR flying style, not a generic wing.

Between €2500 and €6000 for a new wing on its own. Add a harness (€400-1200), reserve parachute (€600-900), helmet, radio and vario: you're looking at €4,000 to €9,500 for a fully equipped wing. By renting for the first year, you can spread out your investment intelligently.

 

The Gorges du Loup are also ideal for a family start.

New for the wing (safety + guarantee + maintenance -50% for life at Aerotech). Second-hand available for harness and rescue. If you have rented from us before, we will deduct 10% from your rental payments on the purchase.

Yes, if you buy through us. We won't let you invest €3000-5000 without being sure of your choice. If you've rented from us, you'll already be familiar with our equipment and our support.

Automatic for life on all equipment purchased from us. Complete overhaul at €100 instead of €200, repairs at half price. You save €500-800 over 10 years. Our rental sails also benefit from this partnership.

6-10 years depending on use. Thanks to Aerotech maintenance at -50%, you can keep your wing in perfect condition without blowing your budget. First year rental + well-considered purchase = best value for money over 10 years.
