La Serella

La Serella launches at 1,285 m in Spain and flies with wind from the north and northwest. There's very little written about the site itself beyond the essentials, but the local guidance is worth taking seriously: pilots are asked to respect the environment and any hikers using the access track, and to judge weather conditions honestly against their own personal level before flying, rather than pushing beyond it, so that a bad decision doesn't end up costing the flying area its access or reputation. Anyone still building experience is specifically encouraged to ask local pilots for advice before flying here, which is good practice at any unfamiliar site but especially one with limited public information. The landing area is named and defined, giving pilots a clear target once airborne. With only north-to-northwest wind recorded, this is a site to match carefully against the forecast rather than one with a wide flyable window.

Local rules & hazards

Respect the environment and hikers using the access track. Judge weather conditions honestly against your own personal skill level rather than pushing beyond it. Pilots still building experience are encouraged to ask local flyers for advice before flying here.

Check conditions before you fly

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to La Serella, 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 La Serella with a 7-day forecast built from high-resolution weather models, see who else has been flying, and get there with offline maps.
