About This Spot
Pretty big and smooth takeoff field suitable for beginners, tandems and hang gliders. Multiple gliders can be easily opened at the same time.
True alpine flight with all the consequences. Very sensible to weather. Can be very strong in early summer and can be very good in autumn when other flying sites don't offer anything more than a glide.
Site practically unusable in winter due to deep snow. Best time to fly - from mid-summer until snow.
Takeoff altitude: 1709m

Access Notes
From Turin to Chialamberto by car: Get to the Tangenziale and take exit either toward Valli di Lanzo or Caselle airport. Either road will lead you to Lanzo valley. Once in the mountains, follow the signs to Ceres, then follow to Cantoira, Piagni, Bonzo or forno Alpi Graie. From Susa valley or tunnel of Frejus: the fastest way is to go via the Colle Lys mountain pass which leads you directly in the valleys of Lanzo, then follow indications to Germagnano, but before getting there turn towards Ceres. By train: reachable from Turin by train to Ceres. Then the remaining 10 kilometers by bus, hitchhiking or foot towards beforementioned villages. Takeoff: By car you can go as high as to village of Vonzo. Then further it is reachable only by walking. You can also use the dedicated shuttle bus, organized by paragliding school Peter-Pan. Runs in every flyable weekend. More info: http://www.scuolapeterpan.it/ Landing: next to the road 800m west from Chialamberto, park the car next to the skilift.
