French Alps · Paragliding site
Live seven-day Alpine flying weather with launch direction, altitude and local site information for Mont Jovet.
Site briefing
Mont Jovet is a paragliding launch in the French Alps. Its recorded elevation is 2,289 m and its mapped launch aspects are SE, S. Compare the live forecast at launch with winds aloft, gusts, cloud base, rain and daylight before checking current local access and airspace information.
Excellent for early start XCs or just for a big top to bottom with spectacular views.
Windsock on a mound before reaching the refuge marks the main take off. Can take off in front of the refuge, or walk up to the top of Mont Jovet.
Bozel in the field between the football field and the lake.
Take the road to Villemartin from Bozel and then follow for Mont Jovet (via La Cour). The road becomes a dirt track at La Cour. Keep following this upwards towards the Mont Jovet refuge. Before getting to the refuge there is a right hand spur track to the main take off.
Mountain Flying so generally light wind. Sometimes need to be away early (before 12.30) as the wind can come over the back.
Stay out of the Vanoise National Park (to the South and South East) if flying XC.
