Live seven-day Alpine flying weather with launch direction, altitude and local site information for Saint Amand Nord.
Site briefing
Saint Amand Nord is a paragliding launch in the French Alps. Its recorded elevation is 678 m and its mapped launch aspects are NW. Compare the live forecast at launch with winds aloft, gusts, cloud base, rain and daylight before checking current local access and airspace information.
This site is very good for soaring along the cliff.
Easy take off, large enough to accommodate two wings.
Landing is easy since the landing field is pretty large. On the other hand, be careful not to entangle your lines on the small bushes growing there.
From Lafare, take to road to Suzette. Just before Suzette, in a right-turn, take the road toward 'Domaine du Chateau'. Park the car below the antenna and walk up to them. Once you reach the cross, continue on the path and take the track on the left to follow the cliff. The take off is just 15 mins ahead.
Contact the local paragliding club if you want to fly there.
