One of the most well-known spots in the world to fly paragliding. FUN and SAFE area. The start places and landing zones are well arranged, with fast and easy access to the top (Planfait 10 minutes, Col de la Forclaz 20 minutes). Thanks to its location (first mountains of the Alps from West, where the main wind stream comes from) and the proximity of the Lake, the aerology is "special" and you can fly almost all year round. (the best period is April to September) .
