Nord-Ouest
Easy landing on top. NW and NE take off are very large and easy. The NE can be seen from the takeoff. Wind direction can change withhin seconds, recheck right before landing. Beware of the cables along the street, yet they are isolated due to bad experience... This field is hard to find by car, as it is located behind a sawmill. The E landing zone is the landing zone called SEVEN between the 2 lakes.
In Saint Maurice sur Moselle, follow the signs who lead you to the summit (so called Ballon d'alsace).
Max altitude during week-ends : 3425meters, during the week : 1890m or 2450m. On NE takeoff, beware of fast loss of altitude, whenever a thermal on the other side of the valley bursts.
