On-site flight: Flight reserved for good pilots, along the ramparts.
Thermal flight and possibility of cross-country flight towards St-Leu.
The easiest way is to turn right after the deco. Go around the knoll and follow the chain, always to the right. Count the crests below you, and at the fourth crest, if you're high enough, there's a gap to the right where you can see Cilaos and the Piton des Neiges (a real highlight!). Here, a quick look down: you reach the fifth crest, below the village of Entre Deux, straight ahead the Saint Étienne river, which flows out of the cirque of Cilaos.
Turn left to follow the crest to the cisterns. From here, you can see the soccer stadium, a landing field (with frequent restrictions: see landing sheet).
Cross-country possibilities abound for the keen pilot.
Winds: South, South/East. Winds must be light to fly on this site.
