At the roundabout in the town center of Voreppe, take the direction of the Chalais monastery, 7 km uphill then park your vehicle at the pass and follow the signs until take off, 20 minutes on foot.

Landing site in the plain at the location known as “Rivalières”, between Chevalon de Voreppe and the Novotel (D3C road). The landing area is not the first field by the roadside, which is crossed by a high-voltage power line: it is the second, adjacent field, further south (see photos). Please respect the cultivated field under this power line: do not cross it in the middle.
You must park in the car park before the railway line when coming from Voreppe. No parking on the field.
