Le Morclan, Mountain summit in Châtel, France
Le Morclan is a 1900-meter mountain summit in the French Alps that offers panoramic views extending across surrounding valleys and mountain ranges. From the peak, the landscape unfolds in every direction.
The mountain supported traditional alpine farming for centuries, with shepherds maintaining seasonal grazing practices that shaped the landscape. This longstanding use reflects the deep connection between mountain communities and their environment.
The summit serves as a meeting point for mountain enthusiasts and paragliders from the surrounding region who gather to pursue their passion for alpine sports.
Access to the summit is by gondola and chairlift from Super-Châtel, both operating daily during summer months. Visitors should prepare for changing mountain weather and bring appropriate gear for hiking or paragliding.
The southeast to southwest orientation of the take-off zone creates favorable thermal conditions that make extended paragliding flights possible throughout the day. This particular position draws paragliding enthusiasts who seek optimal flying time at different hours.
