Located in the municipality of Piedimulera, in the lower Anzasca Valley near Pieve Vergonte, this is an unregistered heli operating site with no ICAO designation.
Operational profile:
Surface: generally firm ground (grass/gravel), more stable than high-altitude sites
Space: moderate, suitable for light to medium helicopters
Environment: valley setting with surrounding terrain but fewer constraints than alpine peaks
Winds: possible valley channeling, but typically more manageable
Usage:
Primarily used for local operations, logistics, and occasional rescue support, acting as a practical staging point between the valley floor and higher mountain areas.
Summary:
A functional, non-certified landing area offering relatively straightforward operations compared to high-altitude sites. Suitable for pilots with basic mountain flying awareness, but still requiring attention to terrain and local wind conditions.
