Take-off description
Field above the hamlet of Le Pre.
Getting there
Take the Villemartin road from Bozel but turn off to Tincave, before Villemartin. Go through Tincave and out of a dirt track at the top until Le Pre. The track from Tincave is closed once the snow arrives and usually re-opens April/May.
Weather
Can get strong and bouncy in the middle of the afternoon, although rarely unflyable.
Rules / airspace
Stay out of the Vanoise National Park (to the South and South East) if flying XC.
Comments
Late start (after 13.00?) as it uses a mix of valley wind and thermals and is west facing.
