The main SW/W take-off is relatively steep and thermal from around midday. The wind at take-off can be strong, especially later when the valley winds become established. When the thermal activity subsides again, very pleasant evening flights are often possible until nightfall. South-easterly launches are easy, very big.

{CREDITS} => data originally taken from PGE on 27/12 because landing or take-off tracks observed here in 2023, geo coordinates, altitude, favorable orientations and toponym could be corrected by the FFVL, observations and descriptions could be translated into French.
There is a good (but narrow) paved road (The C30) up to Le Chalvet take-off from the NW side of the town, but this is often snowed in from December to March. For parking, there is a lay-by close to the S take-off, and places for several cars at the end of the road beneath the South-West launch. The Lakeside landing area / Aerogliss HQ is reached by taking the road to Nice out of St Andre, and turning left by the supermarket. This link takes you to a local map up to take off and intro about the site: http://flystandre.com/flying-services/chalvet-site-intro/\nNormally shuttle buses operate from the LZ.
