Take-off description
Very easy to notice the launch site from the city. The take-off is short and very risky. As there is no space for corrections, the place is not suitable for beginners. It offers an splendid view of the valley and it is located just a few kilometers from the highest point of the state.
Getting there
Four wheel drive or high stance vehicle may be required to reach launch site (that is only 2km far from the city) after rainy days. The city of Bom Retiro is located 120km from Florianópolis (the capital of Santa Catarina state) and 90km from Lages, in both cases driving by the BR282.
Rules / airspace
There is no flight restrictions in the area.
Comments
Ridge lift and thermals in the beautifull valleys. Largely unexplored flying site due to lack of local pilots. Excelent conditions for XC.
