Takeoff description
Alti: 2370m from Canazei go to the Sella pass ('Passo Sella') and park your car on the pass. Walk 10 minuts to the take off, direction East; at the foot of the cliff, which looks like an engine when you are on the road froom Canazei. In the winter greate soaring and groundhandling on the snow is porrible on the north face of the same site.
Pilot comments
Buona alternativa se la funivia per il Col Rodella non è in funzione. Buone possibilità di volo in volo quando il forte vento da nord rende impossibili i piacevoli voli termici dagli altri siti locali. Tieni presente che se non agganci la termica l'atterraggio può essere molto difficile, appena sotto è tutto piccolo o in pendenza.
