If you are planning to come to Laragne to run a competition – paragliding or hang gliding – this page is designed to help. Please let us know the dates of your event so we can publicise them and avoid clashes.

Organisers outside France must:
1. Obtain permission from the FFVL
2. Obtain permission from the Communaute de Commune de Ribiers
3. Inform the local emergency services, and the local Mairies (Laragne, Chateuneuf de Chabre, Ribiers)

There are no fees involved and permission is normally granted. But it is important that the appropriate authorities are made aware that an event is taking place.
