skydivellama 0 #1 August 14, 2004 Hey all, I'm trying to figure out if I can go jump at Gap for a few days in early September, but since my French is pretty rusty I can't quite get all the info I need from their website-- do they have a bunkhouse? And if so is it available all week long, and how much does it cost? Also is there a good amount of jumping going on during the week? Any other random info would be appreciated. Also advice on getting there after arriving in France (flying into St. Etienne near Lyon) would be helpful as I know nothing about French public transportation. Thanks!

piisfish 140 #2 August 15, 2004 not trying to distract you from Gap, but if landing in St Etienne, just go to Lapalisse...scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivellama 0 #3 August 15, 2004 Thanks! Didn't realize Lapalisse was closer. Might just go there instead. Or both!

Remster 30 #4 August 16, 2004 Since you are now also thinking of Lapalisse, I'll coment on the facilities there. World class! The bunkhouse, I would not hesiate at all to recommend. Very clean showers and toilets. Never been to Gap, but from what I hear, awsome views.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydivellama 0 #6 August 17, 2004 Thanks man! I just emailed Lapalisse to book a spot in the bunkhouse Sept 6-10. Can't wait! Though the views at Gap do look amazing.. I'll just have to try to go there later on! Anyone know how late in the year they stay open?

piisfish 140 #7 August 17, 2004 just one danger in Lapalisse... The "Pay everything at the end" possibility... Hope you have a great time there, and hope you have a couple of good credit cards too scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
