takeoff	Wide launch permitting simultaneous TOs of 4 or even more gliders. The upper part is flat and the slope becomes very steep at the edge, a good glider control skills are recommended. For HG: ramp available
landing	Borgofranco landing field. > see photo... The Cavallaria landing is also within the reach if some thermals help and the valley breeze is not too strong.
weather	Do not fly with N and NW winds, and when a danger of föhn wind entry exists. In spring thunderstorms may develop very quickly. Always keep an eye on cumulus clouds development, and in case of over-development it's a good idea to land.
rules	Common frequency 146.690 MHz, including regular weather info transmissions.
access	Accessible by road, the last part is a gravel road but no need for an off-road vehicle. Sometimes the shuttle bus from Cavallaria flying site takes pilots here (when Cavallaria takeoff is in cloud for example).
comments	This site is a excellent starting point for the flight over Serra (very long morena stretching to lake of Viverone), a rather easy XC flight. In spring its flyable the best on the 2nd half of the day.
