It is thanks to the Dévoluy that I started to love the mountains!
The Dévoluy is our own dolomites! An incredible playground…
25 years I’ve been going there and so many things still to discover… New hikes to do, ski itineraries always incredible, countless summits to take off from, breathtaking flights by their beauty and their unique landscapes.
Paragliders all dream of flying one day over this corner of France, a memory engraved for life, where we only want to go back! The first objective common to every experienced paragliding pilot: to succeed in flying over Bure by taking off from the Buëch valley. Then, to go around the Dévoluy passing by the plateau of Bure, the head of Garnesier, the Grand Ferrand, the Obiou, and return by the Pierroux peak and Faraut of course!”

The word of David, your instructor

Focus on

The geology of the massif

The flight over Dévoluy allows you to have a general view of the Hautes-Alpes. Take advantage of this moment to try to put a name on the surrounding summits and to appreciate our massif with a very particular geology: bordered by large cliffs and scree, it was shaped by glaciers and rain, which ate away the limestone rocks.
