FLYING IN VALSESIA
From the 1,200 m of Mount Tovo to the 4,559 m of the Gnifetti Summit on Mount Rosa, Valsesia meets the demands of all flying enthusiasts with an extensive choice of activities. These range from short flights to scenic flights over glaciers, ridges and pastures, to winter flights with skis or snowboards strapped on your feet. The following are some proposals not to be missed:
- Bocchetta delle Pisse: from Alagna, take the cable car to Pianalunga, and then the two-seater chairlift to Bocchetta delle Pisse. Favourable flying conditions include a low northerly wind and recommended landing in the area of “mines” just outside Alagna;
- the Camparient Peak in Scopello at the Mera alpine pasture. Favourable flying conditions envisage a low northerly wind with recommended landing at Chioso;
- Mount Tovo, at Quarona in the hamlet of Doccio. Favourable flying conditions envisage winds from the east to south quadrants, possibly with a gentle northerly wind. The recommended landing site is at Doccio, in the Gabbio region.
