Nous avons passé de super moments avec l'équipe d'Ailéments, notre groupe de 15 personnes (ados et adultes de niveaux sportifs différents) a commencé par le canyoning du Gour du Ray et tout le monde a vraiment apprécié cette sortie. Les moniteurs sont top, ils encadrent, rassurent et proposent différentes variantes en fonction du niveau. On profite du décor magnifique et on a pris beaucoup de plaisir.
Ensuite nous avons découvert le parapente avec Pierrot et Pierre-Yves. Ils expliquent tout de manière simple et précise et cela enlève rapidement le stress. On se sent directement en confiance.
Et au final, quelle extraordinaire expérience, un régal pour les yeux et les sensations. Tout le monde a adoré.
Nous vous recommandons chaudement l'équipe d'Ailéments.
Merci

Un séjour inoubliable grâce à Pierrot et Aïléments ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Nous avons passé 15 jours fantastiques à Castellane en groupe (15 personnes), et nos deux sorties avec Aïléments ont été de véritables temps forts de nos vacances !
Au programme : une journée canyoning suivie d'une session parapente. Les deux activités étaient tout simplement extraordinaires !
Un immense merci à Pierrot, qui est un moniteur vraiment génial. Dès nos premiers échanges pour la prise de rendez-vous et les renseignements, il s’est montré extrêmement réactif, gentil et poli. Sur le terrain, il sait tout de suite mettre tout le monde à l'aise : passionné et bienveillant, il adapte chaque passage et chaque moment en fonction de la personne qu'il accompagne. On se sent en toute sécurité et parfaitement écouté.
Si vous êtes de passage dans la région, n'hésitez pas une seconde : je recommande Aïléments et ces deux activités les yeux fermés !

Expérience au top !! Une équipe aussi amicale que professionnelle, on se sent à l’aise du début à la fin. On a vécu un moment inoubliable au-dessus de Gréolières, une vue à couper le souffle ! Merci à Pierrot pour sa bonne humeur et ses petits loopings de fin qui mettent une bonne dose d’adrénaline 😄 Une équipe au top, à recommander les yeux fermés !

Moment extraordinaire avec mon fils de 13 ans avec qui jai découvert le parapente et pratiqué le canyoning dans des conditions idylliques. Pierrot a pris soin de nous du début à la fin et nous a parfaitement accompagné afin de faire de ce moment une expérience mémorable. la gentillesse et le professionnalisme de l'équipe sont venus compléter le cadre exceptionnel offert par les deux activités.
Allez-y les "yeux fermés" - une fois sur place, ouvrez les et contemplez.

Moi et mon copain avons fait l’offre combo (para + canyoning) et ce fut une des meilleurs journées que nous avons passée ! Superbe expérience dans les airs avec Pierrot et Pierre-Yves. Très professionnels et expérimentés, on a pu leur faire totalement confiance. Le canyoning a également été extra ! Malgré de grosses peurs et appréhensions sur certains passages, Pierrot a su me rassurer et j’ai pu profiter de l’activité. Je recommande à 100% Ailéments 🥰

Waouwww 🤩 Une expérience extraordinaire en parapente. Une première pour moi. Très stressée au départ, Pierrot m'a rassuré et m'a permis de vivre une aventure incroyable.
Nous avons également fait le canyoning en famille et entre amis. Étant tous de niveaux différents, nous avons adorés!!🤩

WHERE TO FLY
Where can you go paragliding in the region?
Our flying site is located at Gréolières, in the heart of the Préalpes d’Azur, just 45 minutes from Nice (35 min of Grasse, 45 min from Cannes).
Situated on the ridges of the Cheiron at an altitude of 1,800 metres, Gréolières is recognised by the French Free Flight Federation as one of the best paragliding sites in the region. The Mediterranean climate guarantees flight conditions exceptional from March to November.
Why Gréolières is perfect for a first flight:
Breathtaking views: panoramic views from Monaco to Cannes, sometimes as far as Corsica!
Adapted take-offs: 3 sites depending on conditions, including Jerusalem (our favourite)
300 to 700m altitude difference: for longer flights
Local team: we live here and have been flying for 19 years!
