Paragliding map of Annecy

A nice map developed for paraglider and hang glider pilots who visit Annecy, showing direction of valley winds , thermal trigger points and an overall birds eye view of the area.
well recommended for a flying holiday early in the season, but still be prepared for the hoards of pilots who gather at launch  SIV courses tandem rides and numerous recreational pilots.
The launch at Forclaz has its own launch director to manage the take offs and helps with setting canopies out. If your prepared to wait and let the hoards go the launch area becomes less full giving a rather stressed free and not rushed take off.
