In May 2013, Avolia (Laragne) and Atout Vents have decided to team
up and organize together the first edition of the St Andre Open, a Cat. 2 FAI
Event in St Andre les Alpes (Class 1 and 5). This competition is open to all
hang glider pilots holding an IPP Level 5 Card and will take place from May 8th
to the 12th which is the only long holiday week end in the French calendar this
year.

We hope this will encourage pilots from the bordering countries (Italy, Spain,
Belgium, Swiss etc.) to take a little road trip and come fly in one of the best
cross country site of southern Europe. The spring season is really good for
flying in this area as it usually means less problems with over development and
thunderstorms. Besides the Chalvet, and depending on weather forecasts and
pilots' attendance, we are also considering the Col de Bleyne and Lachens
take-offs which are two historical and amazing cross country sites close to St
Andre.

The event is on the FAI calendar here:
