This is one of the many fantastic areas in Valais, well-served by cable cars and, as the pictures show, also well-suited for competitions with a stunning backdrop. There are many flight possibilities. With views of Mont Rosa, Dent Blanche, and the Matterhorn, you can easily climb to the base, which in summer can be over 4000 meters. The strong thermals can be a bit much for beginners, but the area is not too demanding in winter, even for less experienced pilots.
