Takeoff description
Several takeoff points to suit wind direction. Launch from either side of gorge with good lift from sheer faces. Easy access to takeoff points. No need to carry your gear too far!! Gorge is about 300 metres above valley floor. Plusieurs décollages en fonction de la direction du vent, des deux côtés des gorges. Bonne composante verticale (parois abruptes). Accès facile aux points de décollage. Pas besoin de transporter votre équipement trop loin! Décollage environ 300 mètres au-dessus du fond de la vallée.
Rules and notes
Not sure. Occasional jet fighters flying low through valley but not sure if there are any regulations relating to this. Will try to get confirmation!
Pilot comments
I live opposite the 2 main flying sites and it looks as if you can stay up as long as you like! The photograph shows 12 paragliders and 2 hang-gliders up at the same time... this is very rare! Must have been a good day! Sometimes busy at weekends but during the week.... sky's the limit!
