Don,



I regulary fly in this area to land on the Glaciers in my Husky. 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.

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)
