Description

The Aguergour site (600m elevation gain) is located 40 km south of Marrakech. Known for its generous thermals, it allows for long flights at the site or for going cross-country. There are numerous shuttles that go to the takeoff area throughout the day This paragliding site in Morocco, located at an altitude of 1320 meters with a height difference of 520 meters, is a popular spot with good infrastructure and an easy, spacious launch area. It's frequently flyable, making it a favored destination for many pilots. However, avoid driving up with your own car due to a barrier and private land restrictions; a 4x4 vehicle is required, and there's a fee for access. The region is known for its soaring conditions with thermals, although they can be inconsistent and sometimes strong. Cross-country (XC) flying is possible, but it's often advisable to take a midday break and resume flying in the evening after 17:00 when the winds and thermals calm down. There's a pleasant lake about a 15-minute drive from the landing zone where you can relax during the break (note: no bathing allowed). The launch zone is well-prepared and offers facilities such as a tea spot and restrooms. The orientation for take-off is East-Northeast-North. Aguergour is a bustling site, often compared to Saint Hilaire in France, with many pilots launching simultaneously. There's even a bar at the launch site.  Alternatively, head to the landing place first, where you can often get a lift. The landing area is a large, flat field at around 400 meters altitude. To get there from Marrakesh, take the Taroudant road for up to 10 km, then follow signs for 'Amizmiz' and 'Barrage Lalla Takerkoust'. After 30 km, just before the bridge, take the road to Aguergour (not signposted). After 10 km, you'll reach a fork in the road, which is the landing field. Take the left road to the take-off. Be cautious if the track is wet. In summer, be aware of potential dust devils. For accommodations, contact Ahmed, a young pilot with a hotel at the landing place. The hotel offers affordable rates with good food and amenities.
