At Ailéments, your first flight takes place from the Gréolières site, at an altitude of 1800 metres on the crests of the Cheiron.
Take-off is a gentle affair: just a few running steps into the wind and you're in the air, with a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean and the peaks of the Mercantour.
