takeoff | North: easy; grassy and ample. Ski track with gentle slope. With E winds the takeoff is in turbulence due to the tree line: a lot better with right direction in take off, near tree line South: technical; rocky and steep. Requires good control. E winds perfect for 'passo serra' take off near (1 km) to Pian del Falco, under road for winter ski area. S - W wind: remember others take off near Sestola Pian del Falco in plenty S - W direction. 'Pian Cavallaro 1800mt.' in ski area and 'Croce Arcana 1800mt' Fanano municipality. Spectacular spots! |

Avoid flying with strong wind particulary warning with W and S: is normally substimate wind force with meridional winds from inexperienced or foregnier pilots This site works better in post-frontal conditions. Pre-frontal conditions often bring S - W winds. |
rules | Leave your car at Pian del Falco, do not try to drive up to the takeoff. Try and land in the official landing. Respect crops and pastures. |
access | Exit A1 (Milano-Bologna highway) at Modena Sud. Follow Vignola, then Fanano, then Sestola. From Sestola take a panoramic road to Pian del Falco. The takeoff is the hill just above Pian del Falco; 30 minutes by feet, service Jeep pick up (Pian del Falco ski rental) |
comments | Good XC site for experienced pilots. Not suitable for beginners unless properly supervised. Ideal winds: N, NW, NE; weak S. Be careful with E and W. Avoid flying with strong wind particulary warning with W and S: is normally substimate wind force with meridional winds from inexperienced or foregnier pilots |
