Our paragliding experience around Grasse
Exceptional sites for paragliding near Grasse
The high country of Grasse abounds in natural sites for the practice of
paragliding
. Indeed the disposition of the first azureen reliefs facing the sea and benefiting from a Mediterranean climate make it a playground favourable for all paragliders and those all year long. Several famous sites although there are a multitude of wild take-offs, stand out. We can fly within 30 minutes from Grasse on at least 5 different sites. We have Gourdon with its small village perched in front of the sea, but also Gréolieres well nested against the mountain of Cheiron which is the highest point of the surroundings, Saint Vallier de Thiey with its two take-offs starting point of many cross-country flights and finally Bleyne and Lachens which are emblematic sites in the practice of the distance flight
All these sites are located in the Parc Naturel Régional des Préalpes d’Azur, the PNR includes 47 municipalities that have all adhered to an approach of environmental protection while encouraging human activity within this territory. It is therefore natural that Ailéments and its state-qualified guides make you aware of these values, while providing you with knowledge about the natural environment you are visiting.

You have come to the right place! At Ailéments nature sports are a passion, we take pleasure every day that nature wants to discover our beautiful region of the Alpes-Maritimes in the air, in the water, on the cliffs or on the beautiful trails that cross our beautiful mountains. Each season has its own nature sport, in winter we offer you
first ski trips
but also
ascending flights
and then when spring comes
Prestige flights
are in the spotlight. Then comes the first of April the period in addition to paragliding, canyoning with the beautiful waterfalls of Courmes and la Clue du riolan. In the summer, we are located in Saint André les Alpes at the paragliding school Aérogliss where we welcome you for paragliding lessons and paragliding baptisms with a view on the lake of Castillon. In spring we particularly enjoy walking and flying and discovery flights, a time when the air mass is calm and we can enjoy the quietness of the air and admire the beautiful landscapes. It is also the period when the water levels in the canyons are quite low and we have the joy to make you discover beautiful canyons with your family.
Grasse the capital of perfume, CoMBO VISIT AND BIPLACE FLIGHT
To awaken all your senses during your stay in Grasse, there is nothing like a good visit to Fragonard followed by an immersion in nature and in the air with our paragliding packages. At Fragonard it is a real pleasure for the sense of smell but also for the sight. In the workshops you will discover how to make essences and perfumes. Subtle mixtures to make an ideal blend for an alchemy at best according to your tastes. After this small visit in the workshops of the odors, you have appointment on Gréolieres for a super paragliding baptism. Of course, before that we invite you to come and taste the Gréoloise gastronomy. But be careful not to eat too much before your flight! This will be followed by a magnificent experience in the air of Greolieres and the high Grass country. The mountains and their ridges that are outlined in the sky azureen, all your senses are awake, you are in direct contact with the elements. What could be more stimulating than flying, with the wind on your face, your eyes on the landscape and your body listening to the movements of the glider in the air? It is an extension of your body and many pilots neglect the sensations to rely on a small on-board instrument called a vario, it tells you by a beep when you go into the thermal. While it is enough to sharpen your senses and yes it is work but personally I find the flight much more intuitive and enjoyable. Come and live this experience with our state certified instructors, a dynamic and smiling team for your greatest pleasure.
