Site briefing
This is a magnificent site, probably one of the best in the region. Good XC site
Décollage pour le parapente et un pour le deltaplane. Vent : S et SE/SO Ne pas se jeter dans la sellette. Bien penser à courrir courrir et encore courrir. S'attendre a un thermique en sortie de déco. Et donc faire une tempo / coup de frein. Tenir sa voile.
The main landing spot is 6 km to the north-east following the mountain in 'Coupiac' (this is the prefered landing spot, and is also the pickup point for the shuttle). If landing in Coupiac is not possible a backup landing spot is just at the bottom of the takeoff (direction NE) at a site called 'Les Prats'
Montpellier : direction Ganges. Turn in Cazilhac-Le-Haut then take a dirt road for 40 minutes. There is a shuttle going to the take-off site once per day on most days that are flyable. The shuttle usually leaves around 13h from Coupiac (the landing spot). The shuttle is operated by the club 'Les ailes de la Seranne'. To see if the shuttle is running on a particular day, post to the discussion thread here or contact the club. It is also possible to walk up to the takeoff site, either by the road or using one of several footpaths. You should count 1 or 1.5 hours, depending on your condition. http://les-ailes-de-la-seranne.fr/
You can fly with N and NW wind but it can be strong suddenly so be careful. Tune your radio to the frequency 143.98.75 to hear the updated wind information broadcast every 10 minutes
Altitude max : 3500 mètres QNH le week-end Bien prendre et garder du gaz. Ne pas passer en dessous de la vierge. Cela rend très difficile le retour vers l'atterro officiel. Vers le Pic Baudile, autour de Saint Jean de Buèges. Restez au relief. Ne pas descendre en vallée. Une zone de protection rapaces est autour de Saint Jean de Bueges.
