We had a great flight on Satruday as we were able to fly with the wind from Salève to Villeneuve! More than 20 pilots reached the goal and we had good fun in train on the way back:-) For today, we wanted to "play" in the flatflands in front of the Salève as some cumulus already appeared at 10.30am announcing a promising day. Unfortuntately, the South-West came stronger and earlier than expected even in low altitude, so we canceled the task for safety reason. Hope all pilots enjoyed this event as much as much we did and we are looking forward to seeing you next year. See below the ranking (the complete rankings are attached below).

Hello everyone, if the regtherm is right, we will have a great day tomorrow:-) See below. I added few waypoints (you can download the new file with the link below) just in case we decide to fly with the wind. This is typically the type of condition where local pilots will fly towards Villeneuve.... See you tomorrow. Cheers, Reynald

Hi everyone, we checked the latest weather forecast and we believe that we can run tasks on Saturday and Sunday. It will count for the Swissleague. Weather info: See below the maps for more details. We should have, on Saturday, some South-West Wind going down during the afternoon and turning to North West. North West is the best wind to race along the Salève and in the flatlands in front of it as it creates some confluence. We might have some high level clouds but still enough sun to have good thermals. Sunday looks good as well. Waypoints and map: You can download the waypoints and the map by using the link below Logisitic: - Meeting point: Centre vol libre Genève, Route de Bossey 21,1256 Troinex, Google map link - Inscription: from 9am to 10.30am at the meeting point (see above) - There is a possibility to install your tent on the landing area to spend the night (the club will organize Dinner for those who want, you will need to register for this during the inscription) We are looking forward to welcoming you in Geneva! Don't forget: we have a big airport near by, so please check airspaces;-

Yesterday it was looking very humid for Saturday. Now the wether reports look much better (not only for Geneva). The organizers just toplanded to check the weather and make the decision: Final decision for Saturday will be done tomorrow, Friday at 12 o clock. Now the organizers will fly until dark :-). We wish them a nice sunset flight and a good landing!

Hi everyone, it is still quite early to have a reliable weather forecast for the coming weekend but so far, the models look good for the Swiss Cup in Salève. We will provide more details related to the weather tomorrow night (Thursday) and we will confirm the event either on Thursday night or on Friday noon. Meanwhile, you can already download below the waypoints and the map. We hope to see all of you this weekend. P.S: have a look to the airspaces around Geneva, we have a big airport which is not that far;-
