A formula Paragliding, more sporty but very accessible near Nice
Free flight is a very complete discipline, combining meteorological, aerological and morphological analysis with piloting, which means a great deal of kinaesthetic finesse and, above all, awareness of your body in space. The second part, and not the least important, which has a major influence on analysis and action, is the mental aspect, the ability to overcome and deal with more or less complex situations while remaining clear-headed and calm when making decisions. All these faculties are, of course, constantly evolving during a pilot's career. In the Alpes-Maritrimes we are lucky enough to fly on a variety of terrain, in the mountains but also by the sea, which allows us to have a complete training on all these axes of personal progression. Of course, during your first paragliding experience, we'll take care of all these aspects, leaving you with nothing but pleasure!
Nevertheless, on each flight we will provide you with a technical introduction to piloting, sky analysis and an overview of the flight capabilities of our aircraft.

Just great, an idea for an outing. I went paragliding myself, and was given a top welcome, a simple briefing, and off we went for an unforgettable flight. I can only say go for it!
My first paragliding flight with Pierrot, who managed to reassure me and give me one of the best moments of my life! An unforgettable experience!
FAQ on ascending paragliding
Can they make an ascent flight without having made a discovery flight?
Of course, the flight Discovery is designed for children and non-athletes who want to discover the activity gently. Be careful though, you must be able to make a short run-up and be sure of your legs. If you're looking for a thrill and want to get a bit of height, then don't hesitate - soaring is for you!
What should I bring for my flight up to Greolieres?
This baptism lasts around twenty minutes, and we're out in the open air in all seasons, so you'll need a warm jacket, a pair of lace-up trainers, ski trousers if it's winter, as well as gloves, a pair of sunglasses and don't forget your mini SD card if you've opted for the HD video option.
I've already done an ascent flight with Ailéments, what flight can I do next?
We offer a wide choice of paragliding first flights, and depending on the season, the scenery will be different. You can choose to extend your experience even further and take a trip to the high peaks of the hinterland with the Prestige flight. There you'll discover the adventure of cross-country flying and, if the conditions are right, the joy of a long-distance flight through a multitude of landscapes inhabited by majestic aerial wildlife. If you enjoy nature and hiking, we can also offer you a walk up to the Cheiron peaks with the Marche et Vol. We take the ski slopes of Gréolieres des Neiges to reach the take-off point, a fantastic viewpoint over the Cote d'Azur and the Mercantour.

Paragliding was born in 1965 from the world of parachuting, with the first canopies derived from chutes. David Barish invented the Sailwing and named the discipline slope flying. In 1975, the sport arrived in France, first in Haute Savoie with the Annemasse paraclub, then in the South of France with hang-gliding enthusiasts such as Francois Gerin Jean and Philippe Lami. Of course, since then there has been enormous progress in design and safety, and new disciplines have emerged. Acrobatic paragliding, cross-country flying (distance flying), walking and flying... (hiking flight) and ski flying are all disciplines derived from and invented by mountain enthusiasts. The region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Thanks to its morphology and climate, France is an ideal playground for all lovers of nature sports. For paragliding, we have a number of sites that are very popular with French paragliders, particularly in spring, winter and autumn. In Gréolieres, Bleyne , le Lachens or Gourdon and around the Grasse regionThese are mountain-type flights with great cross-country possibilities and a breathtaking panorama of the Mediterranean. For flights by the sea, there's of course the legendary site of Roquebrune Cap Martin, with its view over the turquoise waters and Monaco, but on the border of the department you'll also find some lovely soaring spots, such as Cap Dramont or even le Rastel. It's a great way to extend your flying experience in a region that enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year!Ascending flights at Ailéments : An unforgettable aerial adventure on the Côte d'Azur
