DESCRIPTION

Tende is at the end of the Roya valley, about 50km north of Nice. It lies very close to the boundaries of the Mercantour national Park, which must not be overflown by paraglider (except at >1000m AGL). There are two main sites: Cagnorina is just above the town itself, and Col de Tende is a few kilometres north of Tende, right on the Italian border. The col can be flown on either the south or the north sides.
