French Alps · Paragliding site
Live seven-day Alpine flying weather with launch direction, altitude and local site information for Mison.
Site briefing
Mison is a paragliding launch in the French Alps. Its recorded elevation is 683 m and its mapped launch aspects are W. Compare the live forecast at launch with winds aloft, gusts, cloud base, rain and daylight before checking current local access and airspace information.
The site works good at the end of the day, when the brise of the Meouge Valley is descending just in front this site. West wind could help but is not necessary. The west descending brise is shutting down as soon quickly when the sun disappears. In summer, the brise is often too strong, in this period, maximum brise strenght is between 18h30 to 19h30 then be careful not not take off too early.
Cliff, at the top of the old village of Mison,
At the takeoff (lot of bushes !) or in the fields below (not official landing).
Coming from Laragne Montéglin, goto Mison with the national route, then turn right in direction of the old village of Mison (Vieux Mison). Cross the small village and at the end, take right and climb on the 'plateau' using a road that borders the cliff. Go till you see a small area on your right where you can park the car.
