Site briefing highlights
Short extracts from ParaglidingEarth. Read the full guide before you fly.
Take-off
There are two takeoffs: high and low. 1) High takeoff. Nice and huge take off place at the feet of local mountain chain 'Quinzeina' . Only one warning, be careful of the pylons of electric line near the take off.
Landing
The LZ is like an air field - long and wide; windsocks available
Access and parking
From Turin - take road to Cuorgne (via Rivarolo). The landing is next to the road (on the left) entering the valley. For takeoffs - see maps or use a navigator.
Local weather notes
Is the same that cavallaria place, both sites are in a ray of 30 Km so you can play a good cross if you like, so you can fly in all season Don't fly with strong westerlies and northerlies.
