Take-off description

Top of Dou de Lanches and Loze chairlifts by the Roc Tania restaurant.

Getting there

Ski lifts in winter (ski season). Otherwise, dirt track on the Meribel side.

Weather

Mountain flying so light wind.

Rules / airspace

Do not fly over the Meribel altiport or directly in line with the runway up or down valley unless high. (i.e. it is not possible to fly directly to Meribel to land)

Comments

The best winter and early spring thermalling site in the three valleys ski area. Not used as much outside the ski season as there are better options access and flying wise. In winter, skis help getting to the launch and take off.
