Every OutDare forecast for this site is compared afterwards with real readings from wind stations nearby (a hit = wind within 5 km/h). This score is measured, not promised. How we measure this
Where it is
Monti della Gana 1270m is a mountain flying area in Ticino, Switzerland, at about 1,257 m, offering thermal and cross-country flying reached on foot. This is not an officially designated takeoff, and the access road to it is currently closed, so reaching and using this launch takes real local knowledge and planning rather than a straightforward drive-up visit. The site sits very close to the Locarno-Magadino terminal control area, and this is not a soft boundary: airspace rules here are strictly enforced, and violations are prosecuted with real fines. Before flying, pilots need to check the current activation status of that controlled airspace through the proper channels rather than guessing, since flying into active controlled airspace here carries genuine legal consequences, not just a warning.

A day counts as flyable when the surface wind held in your range, from a direction the site flies, with no rain, for at least 2 hours in a row (08:00–20:00) — from hourly 10 m wind over the last 12 months. A seasonal wind guide only: it can't judge gusts, thermals or turbulence, and never replaces the live forecast, airspace checks and your own judgement.
