Cross country paraglider and hang glider pilots will be relieved to hear that the height restriction over the Aiguilles Rouges nature reserve in Chamonix, France, has been lowered from 1,000 m to 300 m.
This will make it significantly easier to get out of the valley legally. The original 1,000 m restriction came from a transcription error: 1,000 feet was converted to 1,000 metres!
