Not reachable with car. 45′ walk from Bidogno-Val Colla (1100 m.a.s.l, 720420/105395 here is the parking). In my opinion this location is much better as Monte Lema! Sometimes paraglider! Coordination with paraglider necessary, but there is enough place for all. The official start is about 50m unter the cross, please start/fly only from here GIUSTO (it is spoken with the farmer and the land owners!) |
