Take-off description
From the road - a 20-30minutes walk-up. 2 principal takeoffs 1) smooth and grassy saddle 2) top of the crest (little prickly bu 150m higher). From the higher site you should be able to arrive on the top of Forte di Fenestrelle in a glide.
Weather
In the summer the valley breeze gets strong after 11:00, by that time you should have been landed. In autumn (October and later) it is flyable at any time of the day.
Comments
The valley if full of high tension lines, be extremely cautious when landing somewhere else.
