Event Info
We’re happy to announce the second edition of the Flymaster XC Challenge in the beautiful flying area around Chabre – Laragne-Montéglin, France.
After two years of working together, our team is excited to do it again. The first edition was a great experience for everyone, and we’re looking forward to welcoming both returning and new pilots.
Goal: a friendly, well-run competition that helps pilots develop skills in a challenging but forgiving environment. Chabre offers many flying options and interesting valley flows, making it a great place to learn cross-country strategy.
Safety: our top priority. With the experience we’ve gained together, the team is even more committed to keeping the event as safe as possible for all participants. Karlis will once again serve as Safety Director, helping create tasks that are both challenging and safe.
We’re excited to welcome you back to Chabre for another great week of flying together.
Location Details
As XCmag says: “Consistently brilliant flying weather, stunning routes over knife-edged ridges and limestone walls.”
Chabre is a great place for competitions. The take-off area can host around 15–20 pilots at once, and we have two large landing fields, one right next to the campsite, where the HQ will be.
The local mountains rise between 1300 and 1600 meters, with a usual cloud base from 2000 to 3500 meters, offering excellent XC potential. In a couple of hours, you can reach the main Alps and enjoy incredible views.
The terrain mixes mountains and wide valleys, with light valley breeze on most days and plenty of safe landing fields. The aerology is interesting and forgiving, making it ideal for all levels.
Chabre’s take-off faces southeast at 1336 meters, with a ridge stretching 15.8 km east to west from Laragne-Montéglin : perfect for setting great tasks !!!
