The paragliding site at Bocchetta delle Pisse, located at an altitude of 2396 meters, offers an easy and accessible flying experience. The elevation difference is 1200 meters, and the site is best suited for flights from April to August, particularly with light northerly winds. The takeoff direction is south, and there are no significant difficulties in launching. To reach the takeoff point, take the cable car from Alagna to Pianalunga, followed by a two-seater chairlift to Bocchetta delle Pisse. The final approach involves a short 5-minute walk. No special permissions or notifications are required for takeoff. The primary landing zone is at the "Miniere" near the entrance of Alagna, close to the campsite. This landing area is surrounded by trees, the Sesia River, and the campsite, with strong breezes common in the summer months. The landing zone is only usable by authorized pilots, but no landing notification is required. For those seeking alternative landing options, there are emergency landing fields near the Pedemonte and Dosso areas. On optimal days, pilots can enjoy dynamic soaring along the left ridge and thermal lifts over the forest below, allowing for scenic cross-country flights around natural turnpoints like the peaks of Mud (2800m), Tagliaferro (2900m), and P.ta Carnera (2750m). Another popular flight among local pilots is from Punta Indren (3260m), with a takeoff from the Bors Glacier. This high-altitude flight requires careful attention to wind conditions to avoid turbulence, especially when crossing the Colle delle Pisse and surrounding areas. The experience of flying from a glacier offers unparalleled views and sensations.
