About This Spot
The best solution is nevertheless to take off from the lawn at the end of the street, beneath the trees. This avoids taking off with side wind.
This spot works better for late hours (depending on the season). Best takeoff time between april and august is after 15 anyway.
By low wind conditions it is also possible to land in Cebbia, Mesocco, but you normally do not need it as in summer the left flank of the mountain is ALWAYS pulling you up :)
Please only land there by low wind conditions! Landing there with 20kmh headwind leads you to a potentially very dangerous lee side landing! By normal conditions (max 10kmh headwind), there should be no problem, though.
If you fly direction south (see Brion in photos) after takeoff be careful of the south wind. It's flyable but sometimes it gets bumpy.
This landing spot is lee side of the little hill in front of it.
Takeoff altitude: 1348m

Access Notes
Access to the take off is possible by car, anyway you should really avoid to drive up, because the road is only ment for the people who have a property there. We strongly advise to park at the Ristorante Posta (closed). There you can find many public parking slots. From there walk 20 min to Ghifa/Camou. It is healty and allows you to better look at the current wind conditions.
