The 20th Edition of the Ozone Chabre Open will take place in Laragne-Montéglin and the greater Chabre region, France from 26th June - 2nd July 2027

Registration on Airtribune.com will open Sunday 17th January at 19:00 CET. Make sure you register in time, because in practice the first 125 pilots have registered within 20 minutes.

Physical registration will start Friday 25th June, with a practice task on Saturday 26th June.

As pioneers of the friendly, stress-free paragliding cross country competition, our emphasis is on safe, achievable tasks.  The event is aimed primarily at competent and experienced pilots not yet established on the competition circuit. Above all, it will be fun!  Sponsored by Ozone, the event includes daily briefings and de-briefings, as well as social events and lots of prizes.  And we will have great flying in a fantastic area.

Task setting, briefings and de-briefings will be led by the inimitable Jocky Sanderson, who has once again agreed to be Meet Director. Jocky’s skill and experience in cross country flying, SIV, safety and training, his enthusiasm to help pilots improve and his animated briefings and de-briefings truly make the competition the best learning environment for any budding competition pilot and even for experienced XC pilots.  Plus, he provides great entertainment for us all.  

Like the 2026 edition Sander Majoor is Safety director for the 2027 edition. Sander is a Dutch paragliding instructor who has moved to the area and bings groups to the area for Guided XC flying. 

The Ozone Chabre Open has always been a Serial Class event. This year we are once again, restricting it to Sport Class and below. No EN-D or CCC class gliders allowed!  Pilots will still be scored by class.  There will be prizes for winners in each glider category: Fun, Recreation, and Sport, and X-Class (2 liner EN-Cs) determined by aspect ratio and certification, plus prizes for the women and rookies classes.
