Our flying site

Gréolières, in the heart of the Préalpes d'Azur

Situated on Mount Cheiron at an altitude of 1,800 metres, Gréolières is our main base for introductory paragliding flights in the Alpes-Maritimes. This site, recognised by the French Free Flight Federation, offers flight conditions exceptional all year round thanks to the Mediterranean climate.

Why Gréolières is ideal for your first flight:

  • Exceptional panoramic view of Monaco to Cannes, sometimes extending to Corsica
  • Three take-offs: Jerusalem (our favourite), 300m and 700m drop.
  • South-facing orientation: optimal thermal conditions from March to November
  • Accessibility: 45 min from Nice, 35 min from Grasse, 45 min from Cannes
  • Ideal conditions all year round, except in January and mid-February

We know every inch of these mountains. Our team lives in Gréolières and has been flying here for nearly 20 years.

What is the price of a paragliding baptism in Nice?
Our paragliding taster experience prices in Nice start at €100 for a child flight 10-15 minutes. The "Vol Ascendant" package at €140 is our bestseller, offering 20-30 minutes of thermal soaring. For a complete experience, the "Vol Prestige" package at €250 offers 45 minutes to 1 hour of flight with video included.
How much does a tandem paragliding flight cost at Ailéments?
The price of a tandem paragliding flight with Ailéments ranges from €100 to €250, depending on the duration and the services included. On average, a standard paragliding taster flight costs between €100 and €150 in France. The video option is available for €30, except for the prestige flight, where it is included.
What is the weight limit for paragliding tandem flights?
The weight limit for our paragliding tandem flights is set at 95 kg. This restriction is due to the load capacity of our tandem equipment (wing and harness). Below 30 kg, flights are also not feasible for aerodynamic safety reasons. If you are close to these limits, do not hesitate to call us: we will check the feasibility together and find a suitable solution.
How long does a paragliding flight last?
The duration of your flight depends on the package chosen. The children's flight lasts between 10 and 15 minutes, perfect for a first discovery. The ascent flight, our best-seller, offers you 20 to 30 minutes in the air thanks to thermals that your pilot uses to prolong the pleasure. The prestige flight, meanwhile, lasts between 45 minutes and 1 hour: you will follow the ridges to the village of Coursegoules with a breathtaking view. Please note that weather conditions and the quality of the ascents may vary these durations; on a good day, we don't watch our watches!
What happens during a first-time paragliding experience at Gréolières?
The day before your flight, you will receive a text message with the GPS coordinates of the meeting point and the confirmed schedule, subject to weather conditions. Once there, we’ll drive together in a 4×4 to the Gréolières take-off site, at an altitude of 1,400 metres; the journey takes about 10 minutes and offers stunning views along the way. Your instructor will kit you out (helmet, harness) and brief you on the procedure: a few running steps at take-off and you’re in the air! During the flight, you can enjoy the scenery or try out a few manoeuvres as you wish. The landing is a gentle one in the valley. Total time on site: approximately 1½ to 2 hours depending on the package.
Is the video option included in the price?
It depends on the formula:
  • Canyoning solo: video optional (£30) for a half-day, included for a full day
  • Paragliding + canyoning combo: free canyoning video for the group + a free paragliding video for the future bride or groom
  • Solo paragliding: video option available at an extra cost (€30), except for the prestige flight, where it is included

Une expérience absolument inoubliable ! 🪂✨ J’ai réalisé mon tout premier vol en parapente à Gréolières avec Ailéments, et je ne pouvais pas rêver d’une plus belle découverte. J’avais un peu d’appréhension avant de décoller, mais tout a été fait avec énormément de bienveillance, de professionnalisme et de pédagogie. Je me suis sentie en confiance dès les premières minutes. Le vol Prestige a été tout simplement magique : décollage depuis les crêtes du Cheiron, vol au-dessus des montagnes, ascendance dans les thermiques, et surtout cette sensation indescriptible de liberté et de calme, suspendue dans le ciel avec un paysage absolument incroyable sous les yeux. J’ai été particulièrement touchée par la douceur du vol. Je m’attendais à quelque chose de très impressionnant et finalement, j’ai découvert une expérience profondément paisible et contemplative. Un immense merci à l’équipe pour cette parenthèse hors du temps, et tout particulièrement à Pierre-Yves pour sa gentillesse, ses explications et sa capacité à mettre immédiatement en confiance. Pour un premier vol, je ne pouvais pas rêver mieux. Je reviendrai sans hésiter pour découvrir d’autres sites et d’autres sensations ! ❤️

Une équipe vraiment formidable ! Les trois moniteurs ont été très sympathiques, très professionnels et particulièrement rassurants. Ils prennent le temps de tout expliquer clairement et savent immédiatement mettre en confiance. Tout était parfaitement organisé et le vol était absolument génial : une expérience beaucoup plus douce que je ne l’imaginais, avec des sensations magnifiques. J’ai vraiment adoré ce baptême en parapente et je les recommande sans hésitation !
