Ascending flight is favoured by 70% of our customers. Why is it so popular? Because it offers the best value for money in our catalogue.
What makes the difference :
An ascending flight (also known as a thermal flight) is a paragliding flight A two-seater where the pilot uses the warm air currents rising from the ground to gain altitude and extend the duration of the flight.
How does it work?
The sun heats the ground unevenly. Dark areas (rocks, forests) heat up faster and create columns of hot air that rise: these are the thermals. Your pilot spots them and uses them to make you «spiral» upwards.
The difference with prestige flight :
Ascending flight already offers all the sensations of active free flight: climbs, spirals, the possibility of exceeding take-off altitude.
It's this immersive dimension that makes it so addictive!
Ascending is accessible to almost everyone!

Climbing offers a unique range of sensations:
On take-off : The adrenalin is pumping, you take a few running steps, and suddenly... you're off the ground. The earth recedes and silence settles in.
Thermal flight : When you enter a thermal, you feel the sail «catching» the warm air. You climb, sometimes rapidly, while gently spiralling.
It's the sensation of a natural lift, the kind that birds of prey experience!
At the controls: If you wish, your pilot will let you take control. You can feel the glider reacting to your movements and intuitively understand how it is flown.
Gentle acrobatics : Tight bends, acceleration, small candles... you can feel the adrenalin pumping without ever losing control.
The panorama : From Monaco to Cannes, perched villages, the sea in the distance, the snow-covered Mercantour... a 360° spectacle that unfolds beneath your feet.
