Le Prarion, Free flight site in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France

Le Prarion is a forested mountain in the Mont-Blanc massif in Haute-Savoie, rising to 1,969 metres between the Arve valley above Saint-Gervais-les-Bains and the Chamonix valley above Les Houches. Its slopes and summit are largely wooded, with pale rock and scree breaking through near the top. The summit holds an orientation table and serves as a free-flight launch site, reached on foot by the GRP Tour du Pays du Mont-Blanc.

Le Prarion lies on the ridge that descends from the Aiguille du Goûter through Mont Lachat and the Col de Voza toward the Col de la Forclaz. Its slopes and summit have stayed wooded because it was left aside from the major tourist developments built on neighbouring mountains. The ski lifts and runs of the Les Houches–Saint-Gervais area lie just south of the mountain, on the flanks of the Tête de la Charme and the Col de Voza.

Le Prarion's name comes from the alpine pasture on its slopes, and the summit is marked by an orientation table that walkers use to identify the Mont Blanc range. The GRP Tour du Pays du Mont-Blanc crosses the mountain, and the summit serves as a take-off site for free flight.

The summit, at 1,969 metres, is reached on foot via the GRP Tour du Pays du Mont-Blanc, notably from the col de Voza, which is served by the tramway du Mont-Blanc. The mountain has stayed clear of the large tourist developments built on neighbouring peaks, so its slopes and summit remain wooded. The orientation table at the top helps identify the surrounding peaks.

The site features an elevation gain of 830 meters from the starting point at 1160 meters, enabling extended flights over the valley.
