Soaring near Chamonix, France?
My wife and I are vacationing in Europe this year and are including a visit to Mont Blanc, near Chamonix in the French Alps. Naturally, I am trying to fit in a dual soaring flight while we're there. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Ther is gliding in Ablertville and in Annecy about 1 hr drive from Chamonix or if you prefer to go to the south side in Aosta Italy, about 1.5 hrs drive. Feel free to contact me if you have questions. TomD

Feel free to contact me if you have questions. TomD I outlanded in Albertville in 2013, and there is absolutely no gliding there. The power pilots I met there (no towing available) had no idea how gliding works. However there is a big soaring center nearby in Chambery (http://www.planeur-challes.fr)

Challes will indeed be the closest gliding club in France, and Aosta From Chamonix, you could also consider Bex or Sion in Switzerland.
Bex (Switzerland) : http://www.lesmartinets.org/2013/?q=node/11 Sion (Switzerland): http://www.vvcvalais.ch/site/pratique Aosta (Italy): http://www.aecaosta.it/ITA.htm
