Takeoff description
Grassy takeoff, quite large, can easily host >10 wings. One can takeoff towards SE and W easily, but also towards NE is necessary (smaller area, more stones).

G class airspace until 5900m AMSL. Usual free-flying rules apply.
Pilot comments
For hike&fly lovers, you can reach the site also from the landing or Pinasca. Depending on your level of fitness, it may take 1..2 hours. There is no water on the summit or ridge. But there are fountains in the villages on the way up.
