Takeoff description
There are two takeoffs: high and low. 1) High takeoff. Nice and huge take off place at the feet of local mountain chain 'Quinzeina' . Only one warning, be careful of the pylons of electric line near the take off. 2) 'Belice': lower takeoff - used when the high takeoff is unreachable (winter) or inside the clouds. It is next to the small church Belice, not big but smooth and grassy field at 1000m altitude. Coordinates: 45.418305ºN, 7.641971ºE. It can be easily reached by car via a paved road.
