Guided trip

Hike-and-fly journey around Annecy (Les Grands Espaces)

Organizer: Les Grands Espaces ↗

Five-day itinerant vol-rando with Les Grands Espaces, preferably around Lake Annecy, otherwise in the Beaufortain. A small group of pilots hikes up to a bivouac, unstaffed hut or shelter, flies down from carefully chosen take-offs, and a support vehicle restocks food and clothing for the next day; the route is planned to use the vehicle as little as possible. Pilots learn to choose bivouac spots and take-off orientations from the weather and aerology, find a suitable launch, plan the flight and the emergency landings. Two non-flying companions can join and fly in tandem. It runs twice a year.
