Mont Blanc Air Tour, Chamonix
Demanding competition of walking and flying a paraglider
This race is one of the five world cup events of the worldwide hike and fly circuit.
A three day adventure that consists of accomplishing a route (race to goal) as fast as possible through mountain huts (refuges) and the mythical summits of Mont-Blanc, Chablais and the Aravis ranges of the Alps. Routing is imposed in order to have a real time follow-up of the ranking for the competitors and spectators. Validation of the waypoints will be done from the ground and/or in flight depending on the task proposed.
Each day, before 20:00, competitors must have reached a mountain hut to have dinner and spend the night. Pilots can take advantage of the evenings to share their day stories, their experiences and why not exchange on the possible strategies for the next day.
