Parapente Gagliano Aterno 2

Located on the slopes of Monte Sirente, this site offers excellent aerological conditions, especially with winds from the eastern quadrants. The takeoff area is easily accessible and can accommodate at least two wings simultaneously. The landing zone is spacious, slightly sloped, and visible from the takeoff point. For the best experience, it's advisable to take off in the morning. In the afternoon, the orographic orientation of the area causes air to flow from the wide Fucino valley behind the takeoff. After launching, you should immediately locate the thermal usually found to the left (when facing the valley). Once you gain some altitude, you can fly up and often over Monte Sirente (2350 m). From there, you can head into the valley, which is very generous with thermals, and decide whether to continue your flight towards Ovindoli or Sulmona. Recommended wind directions are North-East, East, and South-East. Access: From Rome: Take the A24 to Valle del Salto, then the A25 towards Pescara until Celano. From there, follow the SR5 (Tiburtina Valeria) for about 30 km to Castelvecchio Subequo. Follow the signs to Gagliano Aterno. Once in the village, ask for directions to the takeoff, which is easily reachable via the only road winding along the slopes of Monte Sirente.
