Takeoff description
To arrive on takeoff area you need to ride with the Cabin Lift ( white cabin lift) check this website to see prices of tickets http://www.tognola.it/ , when you will be near the Refuge Tognola, walk towards the Button Lift and go until the finish of it. You will see a big Antenna (Red and White) after 50mt you will see the pole with anemometer and you will be on takeoff area. Is a flat area where you can lay down your glide. Not really steep for the firts steps, after it will be steep. Sometimes, if the wind is not strong you have to run to take off. Wide grass field facing south east. The anemometer with wind arrow is located on the right side on top of a pole. It is not really good when the thermal is too strong. The thermals start at 09:00 until 12:00 (we advice to start to fly in the morning) With Wind from North, normally it is good for winter flight. In summer generally valley breeze come from southeast, as the takeoff area.
