Description
Located in Italy, this paragliding site offers a takeoff altitude of 1,320 meters above sea level. The height difference is approximately 1,100 meters, making it a medium-difficulty site. The site is occasionally used and is suitable for both soaring and cross-country (XC) flights.
Takeoff is accessible via the local road from Garziere, Piovene Rocchette, Caltrano, Calvene, and the road to Cavalletto, Malga Foraoro (35 km). Windsocks are present to assist with takeoff.
Landing zones are as follows:
- For hang gliders: Garziere, located 8.5 km from the takeoff point and not visible from the takeoff.
- For paragliders: Colombare, at an altitude of 280 meters above sea level. Access is via the road from Piovene Rocchette to Asiago, then from Caltrano to Cogollo del Cengio, and finally asking for directions to Colombare at Mosson. This landing zone is 3.7 km from the takeoff point and is also not easily visible from the takeoff. Windsocks are present here as well.
The Colombare landing zone is managed by the local club. The area is frequented by hang gliders, gliders, and paragliders. Takeoff is best with winds from the South, South-East, or South-West along the road, in a municipal area not managed by the club. Cross-country flights are possible towards M. Summano or Bassano, with a critical point at Valle di Lavarda. Be cautious of turbulence near the rocks in the M. Pau area.
Flight difficulty is rated as medium.
