Celle is usually the winter flying site, when the valley breeze in Valle Susa is not strong and you can soar for hours in dynamics thanks to the southern exposure. In summer it is much more difficult to fly there (strong valley breeze) but it may still be possible in late evenings and days with semitransparent cloud coverage (cirrus). South side of the Rocca della Sella mountain, with a beautiful sight of the mobnestery Sacra di S.Michele, which is on the Monte Pirchiriano peak.

650 m AGL. Takeoff QNH: 1030 m . Pretty large grassy field, with some sharp hidden rocks, so be very careful and explore your takeoff path well. A power line is present under the takeoff, but after the takeoff the clearance is very high and safe, but despite that be careful when soaring. Smooth grassy field in village of Caprie right next to the nearby rock 'Roccia Bianca' which is also well known for its rock climbing routes. Takeoff: Torino-Avigliana-Caprie-Campambiando-Camparnaldo-Celle. Leave the car on the small pace which is at the beginning of the straight road after the Celle Sanctuary descent, take the country road on the mount side and the path which beginning on the small quarry left. Find it by this link: http://maps.google.com/map... Hike for 10-15 minutes up the trail opposite side of the road to reach the takeoff. Offical landing at Caprie is easily reachable by car. Find it by the following link: http://maps.google.com/map...

Don't fly with winds from NW to NE. Don't mess up when strong valley breeze is present. It will not just make your takeoff more difficult (crosswind launch) but may also ruin your flight as well (rotors may be present).
