Access notes
There is a van that takes pilots to the take-off on Saturdays and Sundays. If you do a top to bottom the van will retrieve you from the landing and take you back to the take off, from where it will later take you back to town. If you do some distance, retrieval has to be arranged with another vehicle or hitch-hiking.

ParaglidingEarth marks N, NW as good. ParaglidingEarth marks NE as possible.
Safety notes
- CBVL publishes site-specific drawbacks/hazards; review the linked federation page before launch.
Additional notes
Alti: 1237m.nNice grassy slope near a restaurant with room for 6 pilots or so. There is another take-off fifty meters west with room for many more.
If you don't manage to catch any thermals there are many fields below the take off. No particular risks.
If you gain height but don't go cross country, you can easily top-land near the take-off (farm to the southeast, behind telecommunication towers).
