DESCRIPTION

Endless XC routes. Acro : Known as Antoines secret training spot. Agy is the take off site above and to the side of the town Cluses. If training acro- the pilot has to make a short flight across from Agy to Chevran. Regardless of the met wind-the valley wind is sucked into Chamonix most good forecasted days when the sun shines, this valley wind displaces up Chevran Mountain in a mix of dynamic&thermic. Making it a mini magic mountain, Chevran is 600M high off the valley floor and in general a pilot on an acro wing would have anything from 600m to 800m vertical once pushing out from Chevran above Cluses. Beware of the diagonal drift towards the mountain in a maneuver. In a rescue situation the trees of Chevran would be the landing point but with a Rogallo, there is space to land below the foot of the Mountain.

ACTIVITIES

- paragliding
- hanggliding

weather

1 >Bise wind-that strong NE wind that ruins most valley winds can have some effect. 2 >When Northerlies mix with valley wind if forecasted to blow hard, only good for small wings. 3 >Thermic gusts from the town of Cluses when entering the lower level valley wind and a somewhat technical landing if you approach in the peak of the valley wind, nice and smooth landing later in the evening.
