Dent de Jaman (Rochers de Naye)

Dent de Jaman (Rochers de Naye) is a Swiss paragliding launch at about 1,738 m, with a wide southwest-to-northwest wind window that gives more flexibility than most single-aspect mountain sites. Access is straightforward without a car: a cog railway from Montreux runs up to the mountain, so this is one of the rare launches reachable entirely by public transport. The main landing zone is at Rennaz, in the valley below, with Villeneuve noted as a further landing option nearby if conditions favour it on the day. Swiss airspace in this region is layered and can include active danger areas, so check the current airspace picture before you fly rather than relying on an earlier visit — this is standard practice across the country's mountain sites, but worth confirming here given the range of directions the site allows.
