Take-off description
Takeoff possible below the mountain refugee, at about 2300 m. Directions available are SW and S... just choose a place on the grass (be careful with rocks!) Possible takeoff also facing E (it's more like NE...) with nil to light winds. This is the best takeoff to open your wing, because there is a little flat spot
Getting there
About 2.5 to 3 hours hike from San Giacomo.
Weather
Foehn winds (northerly) Cloudbase covering the takeoff
Comments
Good takeoff technique is required! Not for beginners. No windsocks available, but there is a flag on the mountain refugee (when it is open). It can be a little bumpy out there. If you want a relaxing glide, best time to takeoff is in the evening, after 17.00.
