Before you go
Fly only in moderate, steady wind; gusts and strong midday thermals cause most accidents. Check the wind forecast by altitude and ask local pilots, and respect the marked take-off and landing areas.
There is not always phone coverage in the mountains: download the map before you go, tell someone your plan and call 112 in any emergency. These data come from OpenStreetMap and the weather forecast; confirm with the resort and official sources.
