Small flat spot with easy access, close to the highway exit and where you can ride runs of approx. 200m. The spot is located between the Vaulruz soccer field and a small forest. Works very well with bise (north-east wind) or westerly wind.

Technical details of Vaulruz spot
Spot access
Spot functioning
The parking is at the edge of the spot, there is always space available. Normally the access road is always cleared by the snowplow, except if you come very early after heavy snowfall. In this case, try to park at the village school (Belle Fontaine 3, Vaulruz) and go up to the spot by kite or on foot.

Hazards
With westerly wind, do not get too close to the train line
Wind specificities
There is no weather station, but you can rely on measurements from the Meteosuisse station in Oron. Beyond 40 km/h peak at this station, the wind becomes too turbulent and irregular.
If the wind is too westerly, then the small forest creates an obstacle and generates turbulence.
If the wind is too easterly and strong, the terrain (Moléson, Niremont) can make the wind irregular.
