Takeoff description
Campogrosso 45:43.758 N 011:10.766 E alt m1470 facing south-east. From Recoaro 5-7 km to Campogrosso pass, then 200m before the mountain hut turn right, go for another 400m and park when the road turns left and you can see the valley; TO is 50m on the right. Mostly in summer, or if you want to take off early or late, it's a wonderful place to relax also. Unfortunately it's a little bit small and short.
