What is the GoFrêtes?

The GoFrêtes is a friendly hike & fly race, a fun day open to every paraglider pilot, organized by Les Grands Espaces in Talloires.
This "Hike & Fly for fun" race is now one of the great classics, bringing together amateurs, professionals, competitors, and every other type of athlete. It traditionally takes place every year in spring.
The main motivation: being the first to enjoy a waffle at the summit, at the Col des Frêtes launch! The idea is simple: climb on foot as fast as possible with your paragliding gear to the Col des Frêtes, starting from the Les Grands Espaces shop in Talloires. It's a bit over a vertical kilometer, but with a paraglider on your back. The start is at the Planfait landing zone (550m) and the finish is at the Col des Frêtes (1650m).
