Montaud site - Paragliding and delta FFVL

A few minutes from Grenoble, Voiron and Voreppe, the Montaud take-off site is a magnificent afternoon and evening site, located at the northern tip of the Vercors massif. It allows fabulous flights, the passage over the ridges is a great moment!

Its orientation and the cliffs mean that it is only in the sun in the afternoons and evenings from April and until October. The forest road that goes up at takeoff is natural snow clearing.

This magnificent site allows long evening soaring flights (3 km along the cliffs), and a cross-country departure towards the South along the Vercors W (Pont-en-Royans and more if affinities!). The cross to the Grand Ratz, with return, is also quite possible.
On the other hand, beware of the turbulent landing: beginners, wait until the evening to land!

Take off: orientation: NW and N, (light NE) for paragliding and hang gliding - altitude 1300m.
Landing: at Montaud (not visible from takeoff, but visible at the 1st turn - altitude 700m.
