Italian gliding holiday

[woodstock101]

Ciao

We are a few friends from Ireland and the UK, we want to visit beautiful Italy in the summer 2014 to do some flying!

The problem is that we are not sure where to go! We are told that there is good flying in the Alps around Folgario / Trentino area (it seems Hotel Sayonara in Folgaria caters well for RC flyers). Others say that conditions for good flying (% of days suitable for flying) are much less in the Alps, than down in the middle areas (particularly Monte Vettore has been recommended as a slope that has a very good % of "flyable" days).

Any thoughts would be very welcome!

Ciao

You would probably rent a car for travelling from airport to the slope, so why not think about spending some time in Folgaria-Polsa-Margone, all within a bit more than half an hour of travel from Folgaria, and Alpe di Siusi , more than an hour, and than take a long trip, 400 hundred km, to Catria and Vettore ?
You can find videos for all the slopes I wrote about.
See you and friends in Summer.
Ciao


P.S.
You should know Harri Pihl, do you ?

Yes, we had thought of that! Some of my friends have very little time unfortunately, only one week (plus the weekend on each end). But maybe we can still?

Oh yes, it is Harri-the-Finn (as I call him ) that started this whole idea with us !

Does that mean that our english is other than good ?

We call Harri "svergul"........that means "washed out"or "washed in", and sure he is, specially after the fifth beer.

Hi Harri.

Salve...
Da appassionato di pendio, magari mi puoi suggerire qualcuno di nuovo per me.
Noi frequentiamo Niscemi e Grammichele . Siamo stati pure nel Palermitano
Salutammu
