Guided trip

1. DAeC flying trip to Samoëns and Mieussy

Organizer: 1. DAeC Gleitschirmschule

A week-long flying trip by the 1. DAeC school to Haute-Savoie in France, staying at a hotel in the Samoëns area with launch meadows on both sides right outside the door. Near Mieussy the group has two launches, and in good thermals some pilots fly back to the hotel 16 km away. Depending on wind and weather, the group also flies in the more demanding thermals above Chamonix with views of Mont Blanc and its glaciers, at Passy, over Lake Annecy or soaring on the Salève above Lake Geneva, so there is an option for almost every wind direction. The price covers bed and breakfast in a double room, travel from the school and back, and launch shuttles in the school bus; single-room supplements, any train fares and local launch and landing fees are extra.
