Take-off
Cliff take off. Be carefull. This site can be good when there is a too strong O/NO wind in the Buëch Vallee. In summer, be carefull in the middle of the day of the addition of the meteo wind and local brise which can increase at landing points.
Very nice 360° vue of the Devoluy.
Landing
Prefer to land in one of the many fields below the site. The one indicated is easy and close to the road.
It is possible to land directly at the Collet du Tat, but the Venturi effect can be strong.
Access and parking
Just after Rioupes, you can take a small road. When it becomes a trail, leave the car, or continue if you have a 4x4 wheel until the GPS point indicated on the map, called 'collet du Tât' on the Ign map.
At the Collet du Tat, you have 20 to 25 walk to get at the top of the cliff.
Forecasts are planning aids, not safety clearance. Check current observations, official airspace and NOTAM information, local rules and your own experience before every flight.
