The site is known for its thermal activity, especially favored by hang gliders. Access is via Méranges, followed by a track suitable for vehicles with moderate ground clearance. The Spanish Cerdagne plain and the southern exposure ensure good thermal activity starting from around 12-1 PM. The first thermal can be found in front or to the right, near the trees at 200 meters.
Cross-country flights can head towards Les Mauroux or La Seu d'Urgell. The landing zone is in Méranges if the fields are mowed; otherwise, there is a perfect plateau above Greixer, accessible via the Sant Joseph track from Méranges. The southeast takeoff will soon be improved for hang gliders, while the southwest takeoff is located at the edge of the trees, 200 meters from the track. Thermals here are flattened and challenging to navigate, so the southeast takeoff is preferred.
