A week before the competition starts I would like to welcome any pilot for a week long paragliding progression course specifically design for competition flying and getting ready for the Chabre Open.

If you want to learn about the area, get some airtime, competition tips, setting up your flight instruments and gear as well as practice competition tasks. Then this course is for you. We will be setting tasks for each day to improve and practice before joining the Ozone Chabre Open.

We will concentrate on getting you familiar with the local area, the weather systems and the typical routes as well as take-off areas for the Chabre Open competition. We will take care of the weather forecasting, shuttles, retrieves, tasks and briefing for the day and the debrief in the evening.

This is our home site, we would love to share all the tips & tricks and specifics we have learned combine over decades of flying this area. To help you prepare better for your competition.

Chabre

Chabre, is well known for it’s diverse Cross Country options and consistent weather. This part of France is one of the driest through out the summer, which helps with constant high cloud-bases and great weather for flying.

Chabre is one of my favorite place to fly, lots of different options for small and big XC.
On a great day it’s possible to fly 200+ km flights and reach altitude over 4000 m.
Plenty of big landing fields available, nice roads all around makes for easy retrieve or a hitch hike back.
Easy take-off for multiple wind directions.
Long flying days, from calm morning and evening flights to full blown thermals through the midday.
Great site for different pilot levels.
Lot’s of places to practice ground handling when the day is too strong for flying.
If the weather isn’t great, there are several other great flying sites around.
Lot’s of activities for blown out days – mountain biking, climbing, lakes and rivers to take a dip in.
