Takeoff description
There are two commonly used take offs. The usual one is reached by walking downhill from the top of the chairlift in a Northerly direction to a small knoll with a steep NW face called Sgur Finisg-aig In high pressure or light conditions, pilots may prefer to walk uphill and then to the right (in a general sw direction) to reach a spur with a good west facing aspect. Aonach Mor looks out over Fort William and the Great Glen. The UK's only mountain gondola takes you to 650m above sea level. Then a ten-minute walk takes you to the main paragliding take-off of Sgurr Finnisg-aig. This is a site for the more experienced as the launch is steep and landing zones are restricted and committing. Once in the air, hooking into the house thermal above the forest and quarry will hoist you up over Ben Nevis, Britain's highest summit at 1344m. Both takeoffs are shown as viewpoints here http://streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=218885&y=776230&z=120&sv=218885,776230&st=4&ar=Y&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf&lm=0
