Coccin'ailes — paragliding school in South Corsica. Tandem flights at our main site Vero, near Ajaccio. The unmissable activity of your Corsican holidays, winter and summer.
★★★★★ 5/5 · 70 Google reviewsCorsica — sunshine, fine sandy beaches, the legendary hospitality of its people. A fabulous cocktail of well-being all year round. Here, flying conditions are exceptional.
Take-off happens trotting on a gentle slope. 3 steps, the wing rises, you're in the air — among the birds.
Views of the Gulf of Sagone, the western coast to Cargèse, and the highest Corsican peaks (Rotondo, Monte d'Oro, Monte Cinto…).
No link with the ground = no vertigo. At landing, it's a smile from ear to ear — we promise.
For those who want to discover the sensation of free flight, in calm conditions without turbulence. A first contact with the sky.
Even if the flight typically lasts 10 min, no duration is guaranteed — we have no engine.
The "enhanced" version of the Discovery. We take advantage of conditions to extend the flight, smoothly. A few turns to climb in thermals, and a short "sensations" session on request.
The most popular gift format.
The essence of paragliding: fly, climb and wander in the air. We exploit thermal and/or dynamic lift depending on the day's conditions.
Take-off from Col de Tartavello (880 m) above Vero. We climb in thermals — up to 1,800 m if conditions allow — then transition to Punta San Eliseo. We follow the ridge separating the Gulf of Ajaccio and the Gulf of Sagone, with breathtaking views of the western coast.
Soft landing in a field next to the "Honolulu" restaurant.
Onboard video option on all flights: +€20 — wide-angle (170°) HD video and photos sent by email.
From age 4, up to 90 kg maximum. Flights year-round, weather permitting.
If you're wondering what to do in Corsica or what to do in Ajaccio, the tandem flight fits any program. A moment of calm and spectacle at the same time, that you'll never forget.
From age 4. An outing that marks children as much as grandparents. Photos and videos for the memory.
A two-person experience, romantic at sunset over the Gulf of Ajaccio. Much stronger than a dinner.
Bachelor/bachelorette, birthday, trip with friends: the Corsica activity that gets everyone out of their comfort zone.
