Paragliding Canyoning Combo: A Complete Adventure Day in Nice
Two activities, an unforgettable day. In the morning, up in the air above the Loup valley on a tandem paraglider, a convivial lunch in the village, then in the afternoon, in the Loup gorges, at the Gours du Ray, for a refreshing canyoning descent. Two highlights of the Alpes-Maritimes in a single day, 50 mins from Nice, supervised by state-qualified instructors, at €190 per person.
Paragliding in the morning, canyoning in the afternoon
Two-seater flight at Gréolières + descent of the Gours du Ray
The paragliding canyoning combo is an adventure day that combines two iconic outdoor activities of the Alpes-Maritimes: tandem paragliding and canyoning.
One day, two adventures
In the morning You’ll take off on a paraglider from the Gréolières site to discover the Loup Valley from the air. Your pilot will make the most of the thermals to extend the flight and offer you an immersive experience between the sea and the mountains.
Lunchtime : Lunch break at the Gréolières restaurant (not included) – a relaxed moment to recharge your batteries before the rest of the day.
The afternoon Head to the Gours du Ray canyon for an aquatic descent. Natural slides, jumps, abseils: 2 hours of thrills in the gorges. This package is ideal for groups (family, friends, hen/stag parties) who want to maximise their adventure day. Fancy just one activity? Compare our paragliding flights and our outings canyoning.
Good to know · Two activities in one day
Combining paragliding and canyoning in a single day is possible here: the two sites, Gréolières and the Gours du Ray, are close enough together to fit everything into one day. To find out more about paragliding on its own, take a look at our tandem paragliding flight.

Two of the Alpes-Maritimes’ top activities in a single day: an ascending flight in the morning at Gréolières, and canyoning in the afternoon at the Gours du Ray.

From age 12, beginners and trainee pilots alike. Analysis of your knowledge, correction of your in-flight technique and a lesson in thermal analysis alongside a state-qualified instructor.

Un superbe baptême de parapente en tandem avec ma sœur, chacune accompagnée d’un pilote. Sympas et détendus, Pierrot et Pierre-Yves nous ont tout de suite mises en confiance : aucune appréhension. Nous avons été agréablement surprises par la douceur du décollage et de l’atterrissage. Et entre les deux, des paysages magnifiques ! J’ai même pu prendre les commandes et diriger le parapente pendant quelques minutes… un vrai régal. Deux pilotes très professionnels, que nous recommandons sans hésiter pour un premier vol.
Jack White
Best day out, we did paragliding and then the canyoning. Great value for money and our instruction was excellent we always felt very safe.
I have done canyoning in a few countries and this was the best I have done by far. It was a beautiful gorge and had the clearest water.
We would book again if we ever came back to the area for sure!
Katell Briand
L'activité était vraiment incroyable, merci aux pilotes de nous avoir mis à l'aise et fait vivre ce moment !!
