Where it is
Romitello launches at 934 m near Borgetto in Sicily, a thermal and soaring site built around ridge-soaring the cliff line south of the Strada Statale 186 coastal road. To reach the take-off, pilots drive up into Romitello village and continue through it along Via Romitello up to the picnic area near launch. The site works with wind from the west or north-west, powering the cliff-line lift that makes the soaring here consistent on the right days. Landing is to the north-east, near the Strada Provinciale 135 north-east of Borgetto, giving pilots a clear directional reference for planning the approach from the ridge. With straightforward village-road access and a defined soaring line along the cliff, Romitello is a manageable coastal-adjacent hill site for pilots in the Palermo area looking for a west-facing ridge to work on a west or north-west wind day.

Check conditions before you fly
A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Romitello, read the wind and thermals for the site itself, confirm the day's rules with the local club, and remember the standing rule — when in doubt, don't launch. In the free OutDare app you can open Romitello with a 7-day forecast built from high-resolution weather models, see who else has been flying, and get there with offline maps.

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.
