Paragliding Norma

Norma, Italy, is one of the top paragliding destinations in Europe, particularly suitable for less experienced pilots. The site offers excellent soaring conditions and easy flying, with good cross-country (XC) potential. Toplanding is possible, and the site is flyable all year round, especially in winter, spring, and autumn. However, pilots must respect the airspace regulations, particularly the CTR of the nearby military airport in Latina. The takeoff area is located within the archaeological site of Ancient Norba, at approximately 430 meters above sea level. The launch site is spacious and safe, with a large top landing area. The official landing zone is situated at 30 meters above sea level, adjacent to the beautiful WWF oasis of the Gardens of Ninfa. To use the landing zone in the valley, pilots need the Norma flycard and must adhere to a specific corridor. The flycard costs 15 Euros per year and allows access to the shuttle service. The corridor is a narrow strip with a maximum altitude of 150 meters AGL, and only registered pilots with the local club or school Aero Club Union can use it. Norma is easily accessible, located about 45 minutes from Rome's GRA (Grande Raccordo Anulare) and 15 minutes from Latina. The town itself is perched on a cliff, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape, including the Gardens of Ninfa, the Circeo, the Pontine Plain, Sermoneta, and the Lepini Mountains.
