Descripción del despegue
Just over the crest of the Franschhoek Pass, there is a parking area on the left of the road. A fence runs towards the cliffs from the car park, and the launch is at the end of this fence, a few metres into the nature reserve.
Reglas / notas
PERMISSION: Mont Rochelle Conservancy look after the reserve, and an inspector does come to the site to check on permits from time to time. There is a yearly site fee, payable before flying. Contact the clubs to get the necessary paperwork. Please be careful of causing fires and make every effort not to cause erosion on the launch site.

A superb place to go for scenic flying high above the vineyards. Thermal and soaring. A superb place to go for scenic flying high above the vineyards, rounded off with a mellow luncheon and wine in the quaint 'Alpine' town. Flyable days here are often before a weak cold-front, with a pre-frontal NW wind. Be aware that the wind is likely to increase rapidly during the day, often peaking at about 1:30 p.m. After 4pm it often weakens. At sunset the wind dies, and can blow downhill at the base of the pass
