Very beautiful flying site with lots of soaring and XC possibilities.

Lots of space everywhere around the gravel road. Down at the road intersection (in the eastern with respect to the intersecting roads - towards Mt Vettore, see attached photo) From Castelluccio the takeoff may be reachable by 40min walk, or by a shuttle operated by the local flying club (shuttle runs every day when conditions are good in season.) The road starts from the Castelluccio village. At landing, avoid making low flight or making the '8' over the horses (western quadrant with tespect to the road intersection). At landing, avoid making low flight or making the '8' over the horses (western quadrant with tespect to the road intersection).

Dust devils!!! Be very careful especially when at low altitude over the landing site. Thundertorms may buid up very quickly in May and June. If you star getting a good lift everywhere on the plains, know that its the last moment to get down. Sometimes strong wind is present at higher altitudes while not present at takeoff. This is especially important if soaring over Monte Vettore.
