The “LF-R30 A and LF-R30 B Mont-Blanc” regulated areas were created and brought into force on March 22, 2001 by Ministerial Order. They impose a mandatory bypass for ultralight gliders (PUL). Paragliders and deltas must not enter this area unless they are 1000 m above ground level and above FL 115 (3500 m).
This area protects helicopter operations on mountain rescue missions.
