Description du décollage
North: easy; grassy and ample. Ski track with gentle slope. With E winds the takeoff is in turbulence due to the tree line: a lot better with right direction in take off, near tree line South: technical; rocky and steep. Requires good control. E winds perfect for 'passo serra' take off near (1 km) to Pian del Falco, under road for winter ski area. S - W wind: remember others take off near Sestola Pian del Falco in plenty S - W direction. 'Pian Cavallaro 1800mt.' in ski area and 'Croce Arcana 1800mt' Fanano municipality. Spectacular spots!

Good XC site for experienced pilots. Not suitable for beginners unless properly supervised. Ideal winds: N, NW, NE; weak S. Be careful with E and W.
