Monte Cairo (Monte Cassino)
Best Wind Directions
About This Spot
A big large and smooth field, suitable also for beginners.
The takeoff field is reachable by a 3min walk through the forest from the parking place on the Terelle road (N41.547685, E13.810087).
As far as known, there is no permanent shuttle bus at the site, but as it is often used by schools, tandem pilots etc., finding a ride up should not be major issue.
Unconfirmed information says there also regular buses going passing Caira and going up to Terelle, which would be perfect for going up.
Suggestion for a small getting-know the area XC flight with southern winds. Take off, gain the altitude to the right of the takeoff, climb the crest until the top of Mt Caira (16XXm), then fly south to the Abbey of Monte Cassino (very spectacular), then return towards landing or takeoff.
Takeoff altitude: 703m
