Take-off description
If it\'s breeze or north: on the neck, just near the road. Walk 5 minuts. If it\'s south wind fly between the \'col du glandon\' and the \'col de la croix de fer\', over the D526 road.
Getting there
2 ways for this site: the north road if you come from \'Chambery\' and the south road if you come from \'Grenoble\'. From Chambery take the highway to Albertville (A43-E70). Turn to the right, \'Saint Jean de Maurienne\' direction. Go out at \'La Chambre\' and take a little road (D927) to \'Col du Glandon\', south direction. Park your car in the neck. From Grenoble take the N85 road to \'Vizille\' and \'Bourg d\'Oisans\'. Before this city turn to the left, direction \'Allemont/Vaujany\'. Stay on the D526 road until a few meters. Turn to the left and park your car.
Weather
Be careful about the south wind, sometimes it\'s bad conditions.
