Takeoff description
Takeoff is just below on the north-western side of the peak (the cross) of Moncuni hill.
Rules and notes
Do not fly over the small lake of Avigliana, it is a nature sanctuary and flights over there are theoretically not allowed. Beware of high ultralight and general aviation aircraft activity in the area.
Pilot comments
Very occasional flying site, mostly due to low altitude gain. Can be flown in winter when cloudbase is very low, however the flight is a short glide. Can be flown in evenings when westen side of Moncuni is exposed to sun. Don't expect long flights there but the scenery is spectacular.
