We have considered a {beta}-beam setup which tries to leverage at most existing European facilities to boost high-Q ions aiming at a far detector located at L = 732 km in the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory. The average neutrino energy obtained from {sup 8}Li and {sup 8}B ions boosted at {gamma}-tilde100 is in the range eV - GeV, high enough to use a large iron detector of the MINOS type. We perform, then, a study of the neutrino and antineutrino fluxes needed to observe CP violation and to establish the neutrino mass hierarchy in a significant part of the parameter space.
