Description
Located in the Veneto region of Italy, this paragliding site offers a main takeoff point at an altitude of 1440-1480 meters. The site is regularly used and provides several takeoff options, making it a versatile choice for pilots. Thermal soaring is reliable here, and good cross-country (XC) flights are possible.
The site was established in 2012 by Club Consorzio Valcavasia. For more information, you can contact them at Piazza Pieve/2, 31034 Cavaso del Tomba TV, via email at info@valcavasia.eu, or by phone at +39 377 1263556. Paolo Cattuzzo is a point of contact.
Access to the launch site is straightforward. From Cavaso d.T, head past the piazetta and follow the signs for "Monte Tomba" via Generale Angelica. After several turns, you will reach a plateau. Take a small path on the left, and after 500 meters, you will arrive at the launch area. This description applies to the main takeoff point.
The thermals here are good and reliable, making it a promising area for thermal soaring and XC flights. There is potential for a shuttle service in the future.
For landing, head west of Cavaso. From Via Roma, turn left into Via Strade Nuova. After 1 km, you will find a path on the right-hand side leading to a 150-meter-long landing stretch. The landowner's pub offers refreshments and even a pool for a post-flight dip.

The lower launch site is not recommended for beginners due to the need for reverse launching in strong winds and the proximity of a tree group at the end of the 300-meter-long, flat launch area. However, with a quick start and good equipment, you can easily clear this obstacle.
The upper launch sites are generally steeper and shorter.
