Il decollo viene normalmente utilizzato dai piloti del posto durante la chiusura delle funivie oppure, vista la sua posizione, per effettuare dei bellissimi voli in volo serale. Nelle prime ore della giornata i piloti con meno esperienza possono effettuare bellissimi voli mattutini, e, non prima del primo pomeriggio a causa dell'esposizione, si può iniziare a volare in termica. Questo Decollo è il più facile e sicuro della Val di Fassa, si trova su quella che d'inverno è una pista da sci, la pendenza è dolce e tende gradualmente ad aumentare leggermente e l'esposizione è perfetta per uscire sulla valle. Da Canazei seguire la strada per Passo Pordoi per circa 9 km. Giunti al diciassettesimo tornante, sulla destra c'è una strada con indicazione 'OFFICINE MECCANICHE SITC'. Parcheggiare l'auto e camminare sulla strada in direzione sud-ovest per circa 5 minuti fino alla manica a vento.
The main landing is located about 200 meters east of the Col Rodella cable car station, there is a wind sock on the west side. The landing is very big and easy, but we must be alert to the power line that crosses this longitudinally to the normal landing path. The secondary landing just across the river at the beginning of the town of Canazei. The windsock is located more or less at the center of the landing and this is equally easy. For both landings normally there is a landing direction from west to east during the morning, increasing in the afternoon breeze starts to land from east to west, in that case pay attention to the trees situated at beginning of the landings, which could create rotors in case of strong breeze.
