Below are the flying sites we most frequently use.
Cedars, intermediate takeoff
Orientation: West
Height between take-off and landing: 420m
Dangers: Before taking-off, it is important to check the wind strength at the top of the mountain. If the wind at the top is coming from the east and from the west on the intermediate take-off, this means the take-off is 'under the wind' and the air will be very turbulent.
