Takeoff description
From chairlift wlk about 10mins downhill to TO. Thermals start quite early. Nicely sloped meadow; space for 4 or 5 PG's.
Pilot comments
I like this place for several reasons: - VERY friendly people at the chairlift and in the village; - VERY reasonable prices for chairlift; - thermals start early; - very large LZ; - easy for XC: climb to about 2800m, cross the valley and fly West to 'Helm', from there to '3 Zinnen/ 3 Cime' and ...; - not too crowded
