L'Élancèze, Free flight site and summit in Cantal, France
The Élancèze rises to an elevation of 1571 meters and features slopes suitable for free flight activities and hiking in the Cantal mountain range.
The volcanic massif of Cantal, where Élancèze stands, formed millions of years ago through a series of eruptions that shaped the current landscape.
Shepherds lead their Salers cattle herds to graze in the pastures around Élancèze during summer months, maintaining a centuries-old agricultural tradition.
The ascent to the summit begins at Col du Pertus, following the GR400 long-distance hiking trail that leads directly to the highest point.
The specific aerological conditions at Élancèze allow paragliders to experience flights with views of both Puy Mary and Plomb du Cantal.
