About This Spot
Altitude: 1270 m
Exposure: SE
Not very steep but also not very big field. There is an alternative takeoff site just on the NE site in case N/NE winds are present.
Do not attempt to soar at low altitude right on the right from the takeoff. In case of loss of altitude there are no emergency landing sites.
The best is trying to get thermals just on the left from takeoff (over parking) or straight ahead over the antenna towers.
After takeoff, look for thermals either right on the left (parking, but not over the ridge), on the village with antenna tower straight ahead, or over/nearby the Corio town down on the plain.
Best flying in summer in presence of light eastern winds.
Good cross country flights towards Val della Torre or towards S.Elisabeta flying sites.
Takeoff altitude: 1332m
