Takeoff description
alti: 2274m The summit of Cime de la Bercha can be gained via a cable car from St Etienne de Tinée, or by a rough track from Auron. Las Donnas is reachable by a cable car from Auron. It is on the south side of Auron, so in the mornings when you can launch facing N or E you can land in the Auron valley, but once it becomes thermic you\'ll be on the south side of the mountain. It is easy to land in the small village of Roya, which is served by a road (the D61), but advisable to arrange a retrieve before doing so! The cable cars work all winter, and also in July and August.
