This takeoff point, situated at an altitude of 1760 meters with a height difference of 1310 meters, is an easy yet rarely used alternative next to a ski lift. It offers opportunities for both soaring and cross-country flights. The launch site is located on the summit ridge directly next to a drag lift. From the station, it's a 20-minute walk straight up the slope to reach the takeoff area. You can drive up to a certain point and then continue on foot. For a meeting point, head to Bar Colibri in Taceno, located at Via Roma 1. You can contact them at Tel. 02082040136. When flying, the ridge is excellent for gaining altitude. In the morning, it's better to choose eastern launch sites, while in the afternoon, western launch sites are preferable to avoid turbulent thermals. Be cautious at the landing site as the valley wind can be very strong. It's advisable to inspect the area beforehand. Pay attention to valley winds, turbulence, and winds from the north and WNW. The area around Lake Como is prone to thunderstorms, especially in spring and summer. For weather updates, visit: [Meteo](http://en.comuni-italiani.it/097/042/meteo.html).
