As always, the BGD Weightless remains true to its innovative concept of weight-based competition. We continue to challenge the norm of flying heavy by encouraging pilots to use lighter equipment. Our scoring system has been further refined to ensure a fair and exciting competition for all participants, regardless of their weight or wing size.

This year’s event is perfect for pilots of all levels, from those who have just started venturing into cross-country flying to seasoned competitors looking for a unique challenge. The diverse terrain around Chabre offers something for everyone.

Bruce Goldsmith will once again lead the event, supported by highly professional local team – main organizer – Chabre Club, HQ at Camping de Montéglin and Karlis Jaunpetrovics (AKA – Flying Karlis) being your Safety Director.

Participants can look forward to daily briefings, strategy sessions, and the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the sport.

Laragne-Montéglin is easily accessible from major airports like Marseille and Lyon. The area offers a wide range of accommodation options to suit all budgets, from camping sites to cozy gîtes and hotels in the charming town and surrounding villages.

Join us for what promises to be another unforgettable week of flying, friendship, and fun in the stunning French Alps. Whether you’re aiming for the podium or simply want to improve your skills in a supportive environment, the BGD Weightless 2025 is the event for you!

We can’t wait to see you in Laragne-Montéglin, soaring from the magnificent Chabre take-off. Blue skies and safe flying!
