Do you enjoy running uphill, flying and waffles? Then this is the right competition for you!
Hurry up and sign up for GoFrêtes, the friendly hike & fly race organized by the famous paragliding school in Talloires, Les Grands Espaces! UP's distributor for France supports this event - with prizes and light demo wings. The 2025 edition will take place on July 5.
The principle is simple: It's all about being the first to enjoy a waffle at the summit, then launching from the Col des Fretes. To do so, you have to hike/run as fast as you can with your paragliding equipment to the Col des Frêtes from the Grands Espaces store in Talloires. It's just over a kilometer in altitude. The start is at the Planfait landing site next to the store (550 m) and the finish is at the Col des Frêtes (1650 m).
Tip: Take part with one of our lightweight wings for light luggage. MANA 2, KAILASH, KANGRI X or LHOTSE X.
Start: in front of the Les Grands Espaces shop (550 m above sea level)
Finish: at the Col des Frêtes (1650 m above sea level) with a tasting of waffles made on site for all and prizes for the fastest
Elevation gain: 1100 m
Only the ascent on foot is timed (with a paraglider on your back), the rest is yummy and relaxing!
