Discover Monaco from the sky, from the Rock to the Casino. State-qualified instructors with 19 years' experience on the Mont Gros free-flight site.
The Principality of Monaco is only 15 minutes from the paragliding site of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. This exceptional spot, recognised as one of the finest free-flight sites in Europe, offers a unique panorama of the Côte d'Azur and gives you the chance to fly over Monaco from the air.
The Mont Gros take-off overlooks the Mediterranean and offers a bird's-eye view of Monaco. It's the only site in the Alpes-Maritimes where you can fly over the sea and land on the beach. What you'll see from the sky :
Site characteristics :
Our main site, perched on the crests of the Cheiron at an altitude of 1,800m, offers a wild and exotic alternative to coastal flying. In spring, summer and autumn, Gréolières offers exceptional flying conditions, with generous thermals and longer flights than at Roquebrune. Taking off from the high mountains, facing a 360° panorama between the Mediterranean and the Mercantour, transforms your first flight into a real alpine adventure.
This is where 90 % of our flights take place, where our school and workshop are based in the village. When the weather doesn't permit Roquebrune, Gréolières takes over - and vice versa. This flexibility means we can fly almost every day of the year.
What makes the Roquebrune site so special is that you can fly over Monaco from the air. You can admire the Principality from a unique angle, with the buildings glinting in the sun and the yachts in the harbour. Landing on the Golfe Bleu beach adds a seaside touch to this adventure. For those looking for a wilder experience at altitude, the flight from Gréolières offers a completely different range of sensations.
💡 Flight period : Flights to Roquebrune-Cap-Martin take place from December to the end of February, when the landing beach is not frequented by bathers. This is a great opportunity to see Monaco from the sky under the winter sun. The rest of the year, from spring to autumn, your first flight takes place from Gréolières at 1,800 m altitude: longer flights, generous thermals and panoramic views between the Mediterranean and the Mercantour. Whatever the season, we fly.

Home in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin - Meet your instructor near the SNCF train station, easily accessible from Monaco in 15 minutes by road or train.
Access to take-off - Take the shuttle bus up to Mont Gros. The climb gives you a first glimpse of the panorama that awaits you up there.
Ground preparation - Your state-qualified instructor will show you the equipment, adjust your harness and approved helmet, then explain the simple steps involved in taking off and landing on the beach.
A flight facing the sea - A few strides out to sea, the glider inflates and you leave the ground. Your instructor pilots and you enjoy the ride.
Flying over the Principality - The Rock, the Palace, Port Hercule... Monaco passes beneath your feet. If you wish, your instructor will let you take the controls for a few moments. Thrill-seekers can also request acrobatic tricks.
Back to the beach - A soft landing on the Golfe Bleu beach, with your feet in the sand facing the Mediterranean.
At Ailéments, we don't do volume - we do tailor-made. Your flight from Monaco is designed for you, according to your profile and what you are looking for in the air.

No, take-off is from Mont Gros for classic flights and from Gréolieres or Gourdon for a wilder, more original experience:
Mont Gros take-off site :
Seasonality of the site :
Several access options:
Age requirements :
The maximum weight is 90 kg for technical reasons linked to the certification of tandem equipment. Above this weight, the glider cannot guarantee an optimal and safe flight. If you are close to this limit, contact us to discuss it: depending on the conditions on the day and the instructor available, solutions can sometimes be found.
Recommended clothing :
Our weather policy :
Yes, an unforgettable experience:
Video option available:
Absolutely. During the briefing, tell your instructor what you'd like to do: a contemplative flight to admire Monaco and the sea, or a dynamic flight with tricks like wing-overs (big oscillations) or 360°s (tight turns). Acrobatics are included in all our packages on request, weather conditions permitting.
Swimming possible :
Yes! If the weather isn't fine in Roquebrune, we can offer you flights from <a href="/en/%c2%a0%c2%bbhttps%3a//www.ailements.fr/trips/greolieres/%c2%a0%c2%bb/"><strong>Gréolières</strong></a>, our main site at an altitude of 1,800 m. The experience is different: flying in the mountains with panoramic views of the Mediterranean and the Mercantour, in a wild and unspoilt setting. Our customers who have done both love the complementary nature of the two sites.
Book your first paragliding experience and discover the Principality from the air. We'll take the time to talk to you over the phone to find out what you're looking for and suggest the most suitable package.
Gift voucher : Treat a loved one to a paragliding flight over Monaco! Our gift vouchers are available online, valid for 12 months, with a personalised message.
