Description

Located in the Valais region of Switzerland, this paragliding site at an altitude of 2170 meters is perfect for afternoon flights, especially with its west-facing takeoff. It is also suitable for flights in northerly winds. Pilots typically use the cable car to reach the takeoff point. The takeoff area is a moderately steep grassy slope situated between cables, just a short 5-minute walk from the Les Ruinettes cable car station. Top landing is possible but challenging. Verbier is a popular destination for paragliding enthusiasts, offering various takeoff and landing spots. Before flying, it's advisable to get a proper briefing. Large information boards are available at strategic locations. For cross-country flights, you can head towards Val de Bagnes, Col de la Forclaz, or even Fiesch. However, be cautious of the glaciers to the south and the tricky landings in the Rhone Valley. Thermic flights are recommended in the morning or afternoon, and a few hours of soaring can be quite enjoyable. In case of north wind conditions, it's better to stay in the hut and observe the weather, especially the development of thunderstorms and unpredictable thermals. During summer, a strong valley wind is common. The area is well-developed, so be mindful of various cables. For more information on the cable car, visit [Verbier Cable Car](http://www.verbier.ch) or call +41 (0)27/775 25 11. The 'Centre de Parapente' by Claude Amman offers unique experiences like tandem flights with a helicopter from high-altitude alpine takeoff points, such as Petit Combin. More details can be found at [Fly Verbier](http://www.flyverbier.ch). For guiding and accommodation, contact Verbier Summits, Stuart Belbas at [Verbier Summits](http://www.verbier-summits.com) or call +41 079 313 5677. Takeoff points: - TO 'Ruinettes': Easily accessible from the gondola. - TO 'Fontanet': A 15-minute walk, facing southwest and west (46.0842 N, 7.2583 E).
