Take off from Couspeau Mountain

The Couspeau mountain, located right next to our gîte, is a popular starting point for paragliders of all levels. It’s known as one of the best rando flights in the area, according to the Club des Tichodromes, which provides precise explanations for this paragliding spot.

From the gîte, you’ll need to take your equipment and walk up the old track that leads to the summit plateau and the deco at the foot of Grand Delmas.

For access by car, drive to the Col de la Bo chaudière, at the foot of the Trois Becs. You can try to park 750 metres further down at altitude 1020, at the start of a signposted path to Grand Delmas. But there’s little room for parking. After about an hour’s hike up the ridge, you arrive at an altitude of 1,425 metres. A little higher up, there are some nice slopes to take off from.

The mountain of Couspeau offers something for everyone: from basic flights to performance flights with cross-country potential for the more experienced.

Landings generally take place on private land, which requires a few precautions. Avoid fields with herds of cattle. Dogs don’t do you any favors.
