Located at an altitude of 918 meters, this site is situated directly next to the cable car station. It is particularly suitable for hang gliding (HG) due to the ramp near the gondola station. However, it presents challenges for paragliding (PG) because of the very short and steep takeoff area, making it difficult and rarely used by paragliders. Soaring and cross-country (XC) flights are possible here. The region is Italy, and the site record for flights is 37.4 km.

The area is mainly used during the cloudy months in the Alps and is less crowded compared to other popular spots on the southern side of the Alps. However, caution is advised during north foehn conditions. When flying cross-country towards the east and north, be mindful of airspace restrictions near Locarno and Lugano airports. The landscape offers a unique flying experience with the Alps on one side, Lago Maggiore, and the plains extending towards Milan. Despite not having a typical alpine character, it provides enjoyable flying conditions, especially when other areas are less favorable. For paragliders, the takeoff requires a 15-minute walk from the gondola to the top of the mountain. The takeoff area is small and steep, adding to the difficulty.
