Paragliding Pilone

This low-altitude launch site is used when the wind at higher altitudes is too strong. The steep meadow is located in front of a high-voltage power line. In strong winds, a secure launch technique is necessary to avoid being pulled back. If conditions do not allow for a soaring flight to Scilla, landing is done in Cannitello. The beach there is not very large and requires experience in approach. Top landing: No. Directions: Take SS 18, km 517. Drive on SS 18 from Scilla towards Villa S. Giovanni. Turn off towards the highway and drive up to Pilone. Follow the road past Pilone. Data from unterwex.ch, 2004.
