Description
Located in the Trentino-Südtirol region of Italy, this paragliding site is ideal for relaxed pilots seeking guidance and training. The site is primarily used by the Papillon school, so it's advisable to coordinate with them before planning your flight. The takeoff area is private property, so you must ask for permission at the Tulper bar or hotel before launching.
The site offers a height of 1603 meters with a height difference of 749 meters. Thermal soaring within the valley is the main activity, making it a great spot for easy, weather-protected flying. While cross-country (XC) flights are possible, large distances are not frequently achieved. The site record stands at 70.5 km.
For those interested in XC flying, the area can be challenging, especially when attempting large FAI triangles. Coordination with the German Wasserkuppe school is recommended, as they frequently use this site for training. The valley is known for its unique weather conditions, so local meteorological tips and guidance from instructors are crucial.
The Tulperhof hotel, located directly at the takeoff point, offers convenient accommodation. For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, there is a large parking area for caravans and a designated camping area behind the hotel.
