Direction notes
ParaglidingEarth marks NE, E as good.
Safety notes
- Due to the low vertical drop, one must make a strong right just after take-off, since landing will be compulsory if one misses the winds.
- One should be careful after 3 PM due to strong winds, making paraglider take-offs very difficult.
Additional notes
Natural ramp with a perfect slope angle, despite the area is full of cliffs.
