weather

With North wind : The only site (with Courtet) where you can fly around Grenoble. But be careful with strong North wind (above ~20km/h) it's just a little protection and the wind can come quite suddenly. Also be careful when flying over ~1400m, the upper mountain protection can stop and you can find turbulences due to being on the lee side. With SW wind or W wind, the take off is on the lee side of the takeoff's West side crest, if wind speed is low (below 10km/h) it might still be okay but not by stronger SW or W wind. With W wind it's flyable, but it might be uncomfortable because of turbulences far above the valley. In doubt, meet pilots on the site for advices.

access

Landing area: from Montmelian, take the N6 road. Turn to the left to 'Saint Jean de la Porte'. Before 'St Jean' turn to the left just after passing a bridge and go along a canal during 1 km.
