The short cliff take-off is quite technical and touchy under light wind condition and turbulent under strong or west wind condition. The place is small and can be used by only one wing. The area has to be particularly respected because of its location in the National Park 'de la Lesse et Lome'. It is located just above the road N86 (in front of the Water-treatment plant). Use the big prairies with windsocks. Caution to the cows. During the harvest only use prairies not cultivated. From Rochefort downtown, take the N803 along 700m, turn right in the direction of Hammerenne - 'Rond du Roi', and take right at both successive Y road crossing. Leave the car at the big parking place at the top. The Take-off is located 200 m west from there.
Always turbulent with NE wind or strong wind conditions (>20km/h)
