Eliporto Calasca

Located in the municipality of Calasca-Castiglione, just above Pieve Vergonte in the Anzasca Valley, this is an unofficial mountain landing site with no ICAO designation.

The area is typically used for alpine operations, rescue, and logistics, serving as a transition point between the valley floor and high-altitude routes toward Monte Rosa.

Pilot notes:

Surface: unprepared / variable (grass, gravel, or compacted ground)

Space: limited, with surrounding terrain constraints

Winds: can be unpredictable due to valley effects

Obstacles: terrain and vegetation nearby

Operations: short stays only, engines usually kept running

Summary:

A practical but non-standard alpine landing spot. Suitable only for experienced pilots familiar with mountain flying and confined area operations.
