Flight over Provence
Lachens, a Mecca for free flight, is the ideal site for paragliding. Our experienced instructors will pass on their passion for paragliding to you and you will not be able to do without it. Our village located in the heart of La Roque Esclapon will allow you to reconnect to the essentials.
With its history of more than 35 years in free flight, the site of Mont Lachens, 1715 m high, nicknamed the “Roof of the Var” is located at the crossroads of Verdon, the Maritime Alps and the Alpes Maritimes and the Alpes de Hautes Provence. It offers an exceptional 360° view from the Mediterranean to the Alps via the Mercantour.
Today, the Lachens site is the largest national free flight center. Our experienced instructors await you to transmit to you in the best possible conditions, their passion for paragliding and their know-how, thanks to their perfect knowledge of the aerology of the site.
The latter offers three different orientations and four takeoff points with elevations ranging from 450 m to 720 m. Lachens is close to other free flight sites that the most experienced among you can discover in our Escape package.
