Easily accessible from the Du Lac parking lot, this takeoff is suitable for summer evening thermal flights because it lets you easily reach the west face of the mountains.
From the A13 highway, take the exit "San Bernardino" and drive south on the main road through and past the village until the road goes downhill again. You can park your car on the left side of the road, on the parking lot of Du Lac. From there there is a private road going up to the takeoff, accessible only on foot.
Being in a small valley just south of the main alpine ridge, be really careful about weather conditions. FLYING WITH NORTH WIND CAN BE DEADLY! Check the wind conditions on www.cvlt.ch/vento
PLEASE LAND ONLY IN LOW GRASS AREAS OR ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE FIELD NEAR THE BRIDGES.
