Gliding Clubs near Chamonix/Les Houche

[Stephen Thomas]

Just looking for some pointers here .....
Aside from the obvious Aosta, where would the visting glider pilot
head for if based in Les Houche for the summer months?

Tango 4 - any thoughts?

Hello! What distance would you consider as "near"? Your best shots in
France would be the CSVVA club at Challes
(http://www.csvva.org/challes.htm) (south of Chambery, circa 110 km
from Chamonix) and EPPLMB club at Habère-Poche (http://fly.to/epplmb),
over the south shore of Léman Lake, at 75 km...On the Swiss side, you
would have Sion (http://www.gvvsion.ch/), at 70 km.

Have a good flying,

JVM
