France Paragliding Sites

Treh Markstein / Le Treh

Grassy take-off on the stubble fields of Le Treh, a highly sensitive Natura 2000 area. Facing south-east, west and north-west. The site is mainly used by paragliders, but is occasionally visited by hang gliders. The site is used by paragliding schools, professional tandem pilots, beginners and independent pilots. It regularly hosts competitions. The site has 2 take-off points, one facing south and the other west-northwest. They are 150m apart, but not visible from each other. Resting at the summit of Le Treh is easy, thanks to a large, slightly curved but fragile thatch (trample it as little as possible). Link to the site sheet giving the topography of the site, see sketch no. 1 (take-offs, preparation area and thatch forbidden to inflate and fold) and the different approaches to resting at the summit, see sketches 2, 3, 4 and 5. https://intranet.ffvl.fr/system/files/DOCUMENTS_TERRAINS/1126/doc_20230831_110609.pdf There are two landings in the Thur valley: - one at Wagga, along the railroad line between Oderen and Fellering. See https://intranet.ffvl.fr/sites_pratique/voir/1127 - the other at La Breymath, just outside Oderen, on the left as you climb into the valley. See site description: https://intranet.ffvl.fr/sites_pratique/voir/284 Organization(s) : Markstein Airways - MAW https://www.marksteinairways.org/le-dome-du-treh/ Very nice and big. And very big area for top-landing behind the takeoff! Height : 1200 meters. Nur, aber gut, mit dem Auto erreichbar. An Sonn- und Feiertagen ist (zT sehr) viel los. Huge meadow launch site for kites and paragliders on the Treh. Best known and most popular airfield in the Vosges. Large take-off and landing areas invite you to take part in extensive thermal flights. Especially on weekends you have to expect a high number of pilots. Fellering Town Hall 60, Grand'Rue - BP 9 F-68470 FELLERING Tel: +33(0)389826072 Fax: +33(0)389382428 mairie@fellering.com http://www.fellering.com/ Coming from Fellering / Oderen, go up the valley to the lake and turn right towards the route des crêtes. The take-off point is in the thatch above the road, near the Treh farmhouse inn. You can either park on the roadside (asphalt parking) or access another dirt parking area which climbs up towards the stubble. On the latter, parking is compulsory on the left-hand side of the flat area before the Canadian pass. Beyond the Canadian pass, no further driving or parking is permitted. The turnaround area before the barrier must be kept free of parking. It is reserved for emergency services! If there's no more room in the parking lot, don't scratch a few meters in the U-turn zone, but go back to the roadside. That way, you or your friends won't have to wait one day for a rescue team trapped by a badly parked vehicle... Access to the dirt road leading to the upper parking lot is forbidden to motorhomes (spike parking is impossible due to the length of the road). No take-off from the preparation area. No inflating or folding on the dome (only resting at the top is tolerated). Forage stubble is precious to the farmer. Avoid trampling them. To do this, lay as close as possible to the footpath that runs along the South Deco from the back to the front of the dome. Then, without delay, take the path to fold in the preparation area of the West Deco or on the South Deco. The future of our site depends on it. 1- and 2-seater 1- and 2-seater Cumulus Parapente Z.A.

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. Access to the upper parking lot is reserved for shuttles, schools and tandem pilots, and the disabled. As there is no shuttle bus for them, deltas can also access it (payment is made by credit card at an automatic terminal at the barrier just before the terminal ascent).

St Hilaire North

The North take-off also called carpet take-off is to be privileged in the morning because it is the first to be fed by the slope breeze. The synthetic carpet limits the morning humidity and the accesses to the takeoff were conceived to be accessible to the persons in situation of handicap. In thermal conditions it is important to choose the right place on the launch site: it is preferable not to place yourself at the top of the carpet because the power supply can be in front of you on the first 2 thirds of the launch and downwind on the last third. Thus to install in top of carpet makes the inflation and the takeoff more complicated. Information and Topo on the paragliding site of Saint Hilaire du Touvet : https://www.airshop-parapente.com/informations-et-topo-sur-le-site-de-parapente-de-saint-hilaire-du-touvet/ As on all busy sites it is better to prepare your glider outside the carpet. You can do your pre-flight quietly in the grass around the carpet. By the road of the Terrace, then take the direction of Saint Hilaire du Touvet. Take off next to the Funicular arrival station. 1- and 2-seater 1- and 2-seater Weather: http://www.balisemeteo.com/balise.php?idBalise=61 Altitude 892m

Le Drumont

Easy, steep take-off. Rolls under the Gustiberg ridge in a south-easterly wind. No landing in the valley to the east of takeoff, despite the beautiful cows there. Venturi at the bottom of the Urbès valley towards the Col de Bussang. A site for model aircraft between the Delta and paraglider sites. for the EAST wind hang gliding site, turn right immediately and follow the ridge to GUSTIBERG. for the EAST/NORTH-EAST wind paragliding site, clear the GUSTIBERG ridge on the right.

However, if there is thermal activity, care must be taken during take-off that you may come into the downdraft of an upstream beard, which results in a relatively strong sink rate and close proximity to the trees.

Saint Hilaire South

The South takeoff is the second main takeoff of St Hil. It is slightly higher than the North and East take-offs. It is a large grassy takeoff which is to be preferred as soon as the thermal activity is in place or by south wind. Moreover it is to be proscribed by strong north wind or strong north valley breeze. The takeoff is downwind when you have an established North, look at the windsock of the school slope to see the prevailing wind! Everyone thinks why this world famous flying site is mentioned here? It is the entry point in the combination of two to three flying sites that can be flown on a day trip. The eastern edge at St Hilaire provides early upwind on low wind days. Along the imposing limestone flanks, one flies north or south as one pleases. The steep kite ramp is almost reminiscent of a cliff launch. When the sun is above the zenith, the flying sites Allevard, Val Pellouse, Chamaux or L'Ebaudiaz on the way back to the Lac d'Annecy are ideal. If the wind is light around west, it is worth going to Lac de Aiguebelette. The flight along the Crete northwards to Dent du Chat aka Katzenzahn and back will reward you for the extra kilometers. (Text Kai Ehrenfried) https://www.dhv.de/medien/archiv/artikel-archiv/fluggebiete/annecy/ The run is practicable as soon as the thermal conditions are established (generally at the end of the morning). The slope breeze progressively feeds the launch pad and can become cyclic. The take-off is located downwind of the thermals that start on the cliff, so it is possible that the windsock at the top of the access path indicates downwind and that the two windsocks at the break are facing each other. Take-off next to the tourist office parking lot. The take-off is downwind when the wind is northerly. Look at the windsock on the school slope to see which way the wind is blowing! In the event of strong thermal activity, the exit from the launch site (level with the cliffs) can be very hectic: be active when piloting! 1- and 2-seater 1- and 2-seater Information and Topo on the paragliding site of Saint Hilaire du Touvet : https://www.airshop-parapente.com/informations-et-topo-sur-le-site-de-parapente-de-saint-hilaire-du-touvet/ Altitude 939m

Drumont - Gustiberg

Dangerous in winds of over 20km/h from the east, north-east and south-west. Formal ban on manoeuvring and parking in front of the farmhouse inn and its parking lot. It is forbidden to fly over the campsite. Easy Large, easy launch site. Often used by flying schools. Even in good conditions it is always less busy than the neighboring mountains 'petit Drumont' and 'le Treh'. This is certainly also due to the fact that you have to climb quite a steep section on foot from the parking lot. Beautiful meadow launch site that can be reached from the car park in about 15-20 minutes. A simple training airfield, which makes it possible to fly in the morning.

Flight operations are distributed along the long slope edge in a northerly direction. Weak weather conditions around West are the ideal conditions to visit the airfield. Excursions to the upstream level are well feasible from the edge. Both to the south and to the north there are airspace restrictions. Depending on the wind conditions, the approaching jets are in a cross approach to the airfield in Chambery. The landing site has a certain importance for nature conservation. After landing, the glider will be packed in the designated "Zone de Pilage". At the nearby lake there is a small beach pub. The Café au Lait can be combined with a jump into the water.
