We'll be flying from Laragne and Aspres. Laragne is well-known as a hang gliding hotspot and hosted the very successful 2009 World Championship. The main take-offs for the competition are on the Chabre mountain and allow us to launch on the North and South side of the ridge.

Event info
The 2017 Belgian Open will be held in the well known Haute-Provence region around Laragne. In the tradition of the Belgian, we want to offer a competition for all XC pilot levels: from beginners to very experienced pilots. The main idea is to have a fair and enjoyable Cat 2 competition for everyone.
While we will not be pushing the limits of what can be done with hang gliding, we will of course ensure that the tasks are long enough to have a fair competition. Of course safety is high on our priority list and the inviting Laragne area allows us to set nice and scenic tasks for all experience levels.
