Pilot comments

Nice and beautiful flying site for local and XC flights (nice but techical). particularly suitable when a high pressure area is over alps which makes it hard to fly in other lower flying sites due to inversion. In spring the conditions may be very strong and turbulent. This flying site is often used by local PG scools for intermediate flights.
