"The leadership that you provide is perfectly balanced between encouraging, supportive and protective. The range of skills, experience and confidence is quite diverse yet you seem to strike a perfect balance. I have learnt far more than just flying skills from Flying Frenzy Paragliding Holidays and I carry these leadership lessons over to my professional life."

We offer trips abroad to extend your flying experience and to extend our flying season. The trips cater for a wide variety of pilot skill and experience levels. You may have just achieved their EP rating and are keen to make quick progress with your CP or you may have a few hours under your belt and want to get to grips with mountain flying and thermalling. Alternatively you could be an experienced pilot wanting to get going on your first mountain cross country flights.

Gréolieres has been our main off-season destination for the last few years.

It is in the Maritime Alps near Nice, where the French Alps meet the Mediterranean sea . The advantages of this stunningly beautiful area are many. Generally the climate down near the Cote d'Azur is warm and sunny with light winds even in the depths of winter. What's more, the microclimates of the flying sites mean that even if there are strong winds up at the mountain tops, where we actually fly is sufficiently sheltered to remain safe and easy. Usually we fly on at least 6 days - one week we even managed to fly on 8 days! Flying on offer can include smooth big top-to-bottoms, UK style ridge soaring and the possibility of thermalling up to cloudbase. The sites are from 700 to over 2000 feet top to bottom and range from classic mountain ridges to flying high over Monaco before landing on the beach next to a bar.
