Local tips & secrets in Saint-André-les-Alpes
- local tip Saint-André is a renowned paragliding site (the Chalvet site), known for its thermals and distance flying. The south/east take-offs overlook the village and Lake Castillon; the landscaped gently sloping mound suits beginners. — ultimatefrance.com / verdontourisme
- little-known spot Lake Castillon, of a remarkable emerald green, is suited to swimming, sailing and fishing: a more secluded and cooler alternative to Lake Sainte-Croix, on the Haut-Verdon side. — verdontourisme / provenceweb
- local tip The Train des Pignes (Chemins de fer de Provence) serves the village: a mountain line of about 151 km, covered in 3 h 20 min from Nice to Digne through gorges and hilltop villages. A day without a car. — dignelesbains-tourisme / digne-infos
- safety For an introductory paragliding flight, choose a morning or late-afternoon flight when the air is more stable; in the middle of the day, strong thermals make the flight rougher and more demanding (to be confirmed with the school). — ultimatefrance.com
