French Alps · Paragliding site
Live seven-day Alpine flying weather with launch direction, altitude and local site information for Sambuy.
Site briefing
Sambuy is a paragliding launch in the French Alps. Its recorded elevation is 1,908 m and its mapped launch aspects are N, NE. Compare the live forecast at launch with winds aloft, gusts, cloud base, rain and daylight before checking current local access and airspace information.
This takeoff is North oriented, and on top of the ski resort, so North winds or light winds are good for takeoff. I'm unsure but I guess that beeing protected by the Sambuy summit, West wind might not be too problematic
No cars are allowed on the ski pistes ;-) You have to go there hiking or with the chairlift. I'm unsure but this takeoff might be closed during winter season (because the takeoff is on a ski piste) The chairlist opens in the end of June, July and August. Rest of the year, you hike (or go elsewhere) !
