Startplatz-Beschreibung

By far the best takeoff for cross country in Ticino. Not as known as Locarno-Cimetta but still very good, as it is easy to close triangles when you start from there. You have to BOOK you cablecar the day before, otherwise you will never make it up to the take off in time (april-october).

Anfahrt

Gondola from 'Monte Carasso' (http://www.mornera.ch/), then walk for about 15min.

Wetter

This spot is very subject to north wind situation, as the wind is canalized through the San Gotthard Valleys (Rivera, Leventina).
