Gourdon
Spring Awakening
After cold gray winter days, we can hardly wait until the first thermals carry us far above the relief again. Therefore, at the end of February we will travel a little towards the spring.
The southern foothills of the Alps in France with its numerous south-facing slopes offer us perfect conditions already at the end of February/beginning of March to start the new flying year with beautiful thermals and the first kilometers.
Our destination is Gourdon, not far from the southern French coast. This place is also known by the fact that three umbrella brands test their latest developments there. There is also always the opportunity to explore the surrounding interesting flying areas or take a detour to the Ligurian coast or Monaco.
