Atterraggio

45° N 46.930 - 010° E 49.070
The landing is located along the lake shore, 2km north of Malcesine and clearly visible during the flight.
The landing exposure allows you to fly both morning and afternoon.

The conditions for landing during a regular day: in the morning there is the north wind (Peler) that dies away at about 11, to be replaced by the south wind (Ora)in the early afternoon. The Ora usually decreases in the evening.

During summer months you can find strong winds.
The landing zone is held by the Paragliding Club Malcesine: during the season they arrange a bar service at 3600.

Also during the season, for an extra fee, a recovery service is available if you deliberately or accidentally land in the water. For the charges, read the Paragliding Club regulations.

The landing is free for individual, non-commercial flights. To go back to Malcesine there is the Tourist Bus, which stops in front of the landing zone every hour.

The flight characteristics in Malcesine

Thanks to the 1700 m of height difference the flight lasts less than 30 minutes. During your flight you enjoy a unique scenery: lake and mountains all around you will make you fall in love with our location.

In Malcesine you can fly all year round.

Take off on the eastern side has the same flight characteristics as the west but has better thermal conditions which allow you to do extraordinary long distance flights in all directions.

SIV courses

The take off on the west side makes you get on the vertical of the lake with over 1000 meters of altitude. This feature allows an extremely confident flight, so much so that lots of schools organize SIV courses (flight drawbacks simulations).
