Very good site for xc flight, this is a good spot for people willing to learn xc. You can fly 10km along the ridge before having to make the first transition. The landing field is not visible from the takeoff, you have to fly aroud 'Pizzo Pec' (see picture). The first thermal is right in front of the takeoff, over the small pit 'cavetta' (see picture). The flight is beautiful, mountains up to 2400mt (Grigna), lakes, hills, flatlands, ... Flights of hundreds of km have been performed taking off from Valcava.
