DESCRIPTION

Site is suitable for the flights on the plains. In case it is covered by clouds and left in shadow, it is unlikely to find any useful thermals there, it may be more convenient to use the Piosasco launchsite. It is possible to fly around the Sacra S.Michele monestary BUT beware of strong valley breeze and downwinds there, so check out the conditions well before attemping it. I you manage to gain some altitude over the takeoff, you can fly ar Beautiful flight over avigliana lakes ;)
