About This Spot

Coordinates: N45.338362, E7.543034
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

After passing Cirie and Nole turn right and follow road signs to Corio. 2) From Corio Center to Landing site: If coming from Nole (or Turin) turn right on the traffic light, follow the road for approximately 600m until reaching a sort of factory or storage buildings with a small picnic site on left. The landing site is the field on the left. 3) Takeoff site from Corio center If coming from Nole/Turin, turn left at traffic lights, go up in the town center until a T crossroad, turn left, then after 100m take 1st exit from roundabout. Follow the road which should cross river on ancient bridge (approx 1km from town center) follow the road up until reaching a village with a small church. Pass the church on the right. After a while the road should become a gravel road. Next crossroad straight, then after left until reached a parking place. From there walk on a path (southwards) for approximately 5min. As of November 2011 there are no shutte services to the takeoff. For going up or recovering the car please cooperate with the local pilots, or have somebody with you to take your vehicle down.
