Launch Site ALRS XII

The rules are the same as ever:

• There is no parking in the field near the prepping area.
• The road is too narrow for two way traffic, this is why you can circulate only in the direction indicated by the arrows on the map.
• To find the way to the place where you can unload your car, check the signs (ARGOS).
• Please unload your car immediatly and drive on along the road, so other flyers can do the same.
• In Fontaines, the road is blocked for all traffic except for visitors to ALRS.
• The parking for ALRS is along the road Fontaines-Chézard on the right hand side. Please check the ARGOS parking signs.

Take care

Our Launch Site is located in the Val the Ruz, north of Neuchâtel, in an idyllic rural area. There for we ask you to please respect the following:

• Don't drive outside the roads, not even to pass other cars.
