The south of France is one of the most spectacular flying regions in the world. Not only is the weather good and pleasurable, but the climate is inducive to thermals and the multitude of hills and mountains are ideal for jumping into the void.

There is a great variety of flying in the region, ranging from coastal soaring to thermal flying, with multi-directional take-off depending on the flying conditions. Experience the thrill of a tandem paragliding flight with a take-off on the Mont Ventoux. Go to the sites on the “plateau d’Albion” that are very favourable for Xcountry flights and offer exceptional landscapes. Or fly one of Europe’s best thermal sites at Saint-André-les-Alpes and soar the stunningly beautiful Lac de Sainte Croix and enjoy views over the Gorges du Verdon. St André host the paragliding world cup and has carved out a reputation as one of the world’s top sites for cross-country flying.

Should you prefer a gliding tour there are several possibilities in the region.

The initiation flight is the best way to discover this wonderful activity. This flight is an opportunity for you to touch the many sensations that the glider gives you through a first flight of an average duration of 30 minutes in the company of a club member who has undergone appropriate training to make you enjoy this experience to the fullest. As a glir pilot you will appreciate the freedom and joy of mastering your Formula 1 from the air.

Regardless of you level of experience, it is always possible to improve, progress and discover new horizons.

What could be more magnificent than to behold the countryside as you glide through the skies above? Soar over mountains, forests, vineyards, ochre landscapes and hilltop villages in a hot air balloon. View the houses of the villages of Provence with unsuspected contours, the ochres of a land with such turbulent shapes, the shades of the fields and the fragrant scrubland. Listen to the noises! It is the light and fresh breath of the air that carries you in silence; it is suddenly the jet of flaming gas that sparkles above your heads.

It promises to be a truly unforgettable experience. For the very best views, you need to have your head in the clouds!
