BEST KNOWN FOR: XC triangles towards N and W.
Long flight descend in calm conditions for new pilots.
DESCRIPTION: High take off in the Pre-Pyrennees and a good XC start. It's facing south, so late in the midday or afternoon, when winds turn into SW you might find cross wind at the take off. It's not a very protected mountain, so better to go uphere when the forecast of altitude wind is light.
Early in the day it is suitable to new pilots but you need a clear flight plan as you need some altitude to cross a couple of saddles towards Berga.
LANDING: 1 official landing in Avià, the town on the south, accross the industrial area. You need to cross before a big sadle ("coll gran"). Consider in summers that the breeze might be stronger down in the valleys.
If you can't cross the big saddle/col you have an alternative big landing area before, called Campllong, next to a road.
