Huge field, space for thousands of gliders. Takeoff everywhere. Not very steep though, not suitable for HG or low efficiency old wings.

Do not fly with foen winds! Extremly turbuent and dangerous.
Comments
This site if quite protected from northern winds, when elsewhere is not flyable, here it often is. But with big caution! And better ask the local pilots to be sure.
