Takeoff description

Ca. 200 m on the left side of the top station of the new cable car coming from Siviez. Best takeoff direction is facing eastwards. For good pilots the takeoff on the west side is an other possibility. But it is a very short takeoff track followed by steep cliffs. Better have a stronger wind to take off westwards!
