Site briefing highlights
Short extracts from ParaglidingEarth. Read the full guide before you fly.
Take-off
Nice smooth field, enough for a single paraglider start at a time. Start only in presence of thermal wind from the front if you are going for a thermal XC.
Landing
Near Bricco Musso, technical due to obstacles, certainly not for beginners, it is highly recommended to see it before you attempt to fly.
Access and parking
Rather tricky. Get to the intersection of SP97 and SP102, it like on a saddle. Take the small gravel road beginning just in front of the church. Walk, or you need a serious offroad vehicle. Get to the hilltop, pass to the neighbor hill.
Flight rules
The flying site is on the limit of Turin Caselle airport's CTR. The flying inside the CTR is illegal and can be dangerous - so do not fly to the west from the takeoff area! The upper CTR starts 1500ft (500m) above ground level.
