Italian Alps · Paragliding site
Live seven-day Alpine flying weather with launch direction, altitude and local site information for Moncuni.
Site briefing
Moncuni is a paragliding launch in the Italian Alps. Its recorded elevation is 624 m and its mapped launch aspects are S. Compare the live forecast at launch with winds aloft, gusts, cloud base, rain and daylight before checking current local access and airspace information.
Very occasional flying site, mostly due to low altitude gain. Can be flown in winter when cloudbase is very low, however the flight is a short glide. Can be flown in evenings when westen side of Moncuni is exposed to sun. Don't expect long flights there but the scenery is spectacular.
Takeoff is just below on the north-western side of the peak (the cross) of Moncuni hill.
Fields below, southwest from Moncuni hill top, behind the road. Do not land on cultivated land, long grass or fields with livestock. Beware of some cables and low voltage power lines crossing the fields.
Go to village of Reano either through Avilgiana and trana (SP589) or Rosta (reachable from SS25). If driving from Trana, drive through the village of Reano until a kind of one way street system which makes a circle in the village center. Turn left there and go towards the church. Pass the church on the right side and continue straight until next crossroad (200m) then turn left, and then go until the end of the asphalted road. Few meters up the gravel road there is a parking spot. Otherwise you can leave it at the end of asphalted road. Walk (approx 20min) on the gravel road to towards the peak of the hill, and you will find the takeoff also there.
Do not fly with foen winds. Beware that entering valle Susa in summer afternoons means facing its strong walley breeze winds (can be over 50kmh)
Do not fly over the small lake of Avigliana, it is a nature sanctuary and flights over there are theoretically not allowed. Beware of high ultralight and general aviation aircraft activity in the area.
