The flight plan must deviate from the left bank of the valley (west slope) and the right bank (Aiguilles-Rouges) in the Argentière sector to avoid prohibited areas (DZ des Bois and nature reserve). Be aware of July and August regulations. (`SUP AIP 120/21 LF-R 30 B`)
Interesting site from the beginning of the afternoon. This site works best in light wind (anticyclonic conditions or light westerly flow). No landing at Argentière.
High altitude takeoff (good physical condition required).
High mountain aerology. The thermic breezes are sometimes reinforced by the prevailing weather system winds, there is a possibility of rapid condensation before takeoff in the middle of the afternoon.
Takeoff on a glacier, exposed environment.
Confirmed pilot, mountaineering skills.
Bois du Bouchet - be careful, the valley breeze will be in your face to return to the landing, so manage your approach strategy carefully.
Flames (not always).
