Col de la Forclaz / Montmin
Magnificent takeoff in front of the lake, but very busy in summer by tandem pilots. From May to September, there is a chargeable barrier to limit the number of vehicles between the pass and take-off. Park in the parking lot and walk 15 minutes or pay 20€ per pass. There is also an official shuttle service from the landing of Doussard (out of season contact the Doussard Parapente club) Best known airfield in the region. In good conditions you have to fight for a starting place. Flight operations are normally controlled by a launch leader. Tandem pilots have priority over all free flyers. Hang-gliders can start on a ramp. As usual in France, you should only go to the start when you are completely hooked in. Afterwards an unforgettable flight over the Lac d'Annecy awaits every pilot. Those who can gain height should feel their way northwards to the narrowest point of the lake. With sufficient height you can now cross the lake to find a thermal connection on the west side again. If you don't succeed in a cross-country flight you can just enjoy the mountain scenery and a nice flight to the landing site. Those who want to fly at Col de la Forclaz can either take the shuttle bus from the landing place in Doussard or from the 2nd turn after the pass height the legs. In about 10 minutes the sporty flyer will be at the take-off point. The challenge is too big for hang-gliders, but they (and of course everyone else) can buy an access card at the town hall of vTalloires for a nominal charge of 10 €, which is rechargeable and does not expire. Then 2,50€ will be charged per ride.

Peillat Ducret / Sapenay Nord Peillat Ducret
From the commune of Cessens or Chindrieux, take the D54 and join the Sapenay pass. The "ABRY" parking lot is now 50 yards from the pass.

Cross this pass and park your car, there's sign 'décollage parapente du sapenay'. From south to southwest with marked instability The site is located halfway between Le Bourget du Lac and Annecy airports in a Class E TMA, with takeoff in the glide path of the aircraft for Le Bourget airstrip. In order not to create any incident with the air traffic, a federal regulation of use of the airspace was set up, it is the future of the site to respect it. You will find all the necessary information on the panels installed at the entrance to the site. None At the northern end of the Lac de Bourget there is the airfield at the Col de Sapenay. When the sun is shining, the limestone edge facing west provides a reliable updraft. Unfortunately, the stored thermals must not be cranked up to infinite heights. There is a height gradation in the flight area, which becomes lower and lower towards the south. The reason for this is the airfield in Chambery. The airfield is especially attractive for kite pilots due to the huge landing area.

Saleve - La Table d'Orientation
Located in the middle of Saleve, the take off is small but well prepared and clean, protected with the artificial grass. Accessible both by car and the cable car (15-20min walk), summer and winter.

Static thermals in front of the take off and all around. Possibility to interact with numerous hikers and climbers. ! TMA et CTR Geneve: Ne pas monter plus haut que 300 m. au dessus du Saleve (soit 1600m./mer). Interdiction de survoler la ville ! Careful with the side wind, the trees can produce rotors; also typical tail wind late in the evening. TMA and CTR of Geneva restrict the flights above the 1600m and further in the city. (See details http://www.paradelta.ch/site-de-vols/reglementation-aerienne-et-son-environnement/). Also avoid interfering with the nesting birds and wild nature. http://www.paradelta.ch/site-de-vols/les-decollages/ - Possible parking next to the restaurant 'La Table d'Orientation', from there, take the visible path to the right (north) along the hill. - From the telepherique, take the marked path uphill, quickly turning to the right (direction south - l'observatorie). Cross the road several time until you get closer to the cliff, where you'll find the take off directly on your way.
