Enjoy an unforgettable first paragliding experience
Discover the unique experience of a tandem paragliding flight in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, a jewel of the Côte d'Azur. Accompanied by an experienced pilot, you’ll soar over breathtaking landscapes between sea and mountains. During the flight, you’ll see the beaches of Menton, the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Nice and the Principality of Monaco.
Tandem paragliding is an activity open to almost everyone, supervised by state-certified instructors. No prior experience is needed—your instructor takes care of all the in-flight manoeuvres. You’ll only need to take an active part during take-off and landing, and your instructor will guide you through both.
Never flown before? Don't worry—we're used to helping first-timers. At the end of your flight, we'll issue you with a paragliding flight certificate on request, which you can proudly display at home!
Suitable for everyone weighing 20 to 80 kg, and up to 95 kg for sporty passengers who can run with us during take-off.

Take to the skies for breathtaking views
Where are the take-off and landing sites?
We have two launch sites in the hills above Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and Monaco, each with a 700-metre elevation drop. The site for your flight will depend on the weather conditions and will be decided at the last minute:
- Mont Gros in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, between Monaco and Menton, offers spectacular views over the Mediterranean.
- The take-off area Lai Barrai, slightly west of Mont Gros, faces the splendid city of Monte-Carlo.
You’ll land on one of the Côte d’Azur’s most beautiful and famous beaches: Golfe Bleu beach in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. This pebble beach stretches for 800 metres, is accessible via a footpath and is close to the train station.
This setting makes it one of the 10 best paragliding sites in Europe, especially popular for its exceptional flying conditions in winter.
Where is the meeting point for your paragliding flight?
We’ll meet you at our vehicle, parked above Golfe Bleu beach at 13 avenue Le Corbusier in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin.
