Monte Grappa, Italy, is a highly frequented paragliding site known for its relaxed soaring and excellent cross-country (XC) potential. The site is accessible all year round, with the best XC conditions typically from March to May, though autumn and winter also offer good thermal soaring opportunities. Monte Grappa allows for flying nearly 300 days a year due to its favorable geographic location. It is a favorite destination for pilots from all over Europe. Besides paragliding, the area offers various alternative activities such as Nordic walking, climbing, mountain biking, and hiking. The main takeoff area, known as Col del Pupolo or Decollo Sud, faces south and is suitable for launches with slight southeast or southwest winds. The takeoff area is equipped with carpets and rubber mats, but pilots should still be cautious with their lines. There is also a small grass takeoff area and a hang gliding ramp nearby, so be careful when launching to the left. The Monte Grappa Air Park provides shuttle services from Semonzo, as parking near the takeoff is limited. Pilots need to bring their license and insurance proof to purchase shuttle tickets at the flight school office. For weather updates, visit the Aeroclub Montegrappa website: [Aeroclub Montegrappa Weather](http://www.aeroclubmontegrappa.it/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=66&Itemid=67). Accommodation options include the Garden Relais, a campsite near the pizzeria, and various B&Bs. The Garden Relais is also a popular meeting spot for pilots, offering food and drinks. Directions: If coming from Brenner, take the Trento Nord exit, continue on SS47 towards Padova, exit at Bassano-Centro, turn left at the first intersection towards Romano d'Ezzelino, and then through Semonzo (turn left at the gas station) to reach your destination.

View spotAltitude: 2360-2389 meters, Height Difference: 957 meters. This site is considered medium-difficult and is extremely popular during its short season from the end of August to mid-October. The area offers excellent soaring opportunities in front of spectacular scenery, with good heights and cross-country (XC) potential. Access is via the cable car from Campitello until the end of the summer season. The main takeoff direction is East-Southeast (E-SE). This site is only suitable for well-informed, fairly experienced pilots in combination with the right weather conditions. There have been many collisions and accidents here due to ignorance. Region: Trentino, Italy. Site record: 167.7 km. More information: [Fassa](http://www.fassa.com) Region: Trentino, Italy. Site record: 100.6 km. More information: [Fassa](https://www.fassa.com) This spot is NOT for beginners or uninformed pilots. It is crucial to read carefully about the dangers first. Many accidents here are avoidable. For example, do not launch in the afternoon when the SE valley wind creates rotors. Beware of dust devils. Know the rules to avoid collisions in the air. Do not fly on the leeside with sustained wind. Avoid flying here in summer unless you are very experienced. Do not fly with strong wind conditions. Follow the clear rule: if you see a rescue helicopter, do not take off. If you are already in the air, get out of the way quickly. Basic weather information can be found at [Dolomiti Meteo](http://www.arpa.veneto.it/bollettini/htm/dolomiti_meteo.asp), but it is recommended to use several sources for a comprehensive understanding. The Dolomites are NOT a beginner's area. They are only suitable for experienced pilots or those accompanied by experienced guides. During the season, rescue helicopters frequently transport paragliders. To prevent the area from being closed (which has already been threatened), do not take off during helicopter operations and steer clear if you are in the air. Do not start at Col Rodella with a north wind. Be cautious of dust devils from midday onwards, as this spot becomes dangerous due to rotors created by the Fassa Valley wind. The cable car from Campitello operates regularly until mid-October. The Dolomites are also a popular ski resort, making the area crowded and well-developed for tourism. However, the cable car only runs until mid-October. The conditions in the Fassa Valley allow for breathtaking flights, even in the evening. Only experienced pilots should attempt to fly here due to the dangerous conditions.

View spotLocated in Italy, the Decollo delle Grange is a popular paragliding site suitable for both paragliders (PG) and hang gliders (HG) of all levels. The launch area is a large meadow that allows for the simultaneous setup and pre-flight checks of multiple wings. The terrain is obstacle-free with a uniform slope, making it accessible for everyone. The site offers excellent exposure, allowing for flights from mid-morning to late afternoon with good thermal soaring conditions. Pilots can enjoy thermal soaring along the route, with some potential for cross-country (XC) flights. When flying towards the village of San Germano, you will pass over an area known as 'Faro,' identifiable by a concrete pole at the mountain's peak. This area often provides favorable thermodynamic conditions. The designated landing zone is in Villar Perosa, in a meadow marked by a windsock, located next to the road leading to Inverso Pinasca and Perosa Argentina, parallel to State Road 23. The entrance is 500 meters before the Stabilus factory, turning left at the roundabout. Please note that valley winds become significant from late morning onwards, so caution is advised.
