Thank you for the websites. Do you know if those locations are Alpine with potential for wave flights? I don't dare to leave my wife shopping in Milano - I would have no money left for flying.

I and some other members of my club (soaring club of Zurich) are starting our
season every spring at Alzatte-Brianza. www.avl.it/

A nice place for flights while your wife goes shopping in Milano ;-)

Hi,

We are going for a family vacation in northern Italy
(around lake Como and Toscaney) on the beginning of
October.
I am looking for a place that I can get some nice soaring
and maybe seaplane flights.
Tips anyone?
Thanx,

Yuval

I am looking for same. I found one site North of Como in High Mountains
near Sondrio Italy that sounds interesting - they list a variety of
single and tandom gliders
http://www.csuttner.de/soaring/Italy/italy.html.
They sent me a complete list (in German) I can send you if you like.
I'll be there in June 2006 - if you score a good site please let me
know. I need only dual time, at least to start - I have a bunch of time
in hang gliders, but only several in a L-23 and yet to solo. Also - any
travel tips (lodging, dining, sites), places to rent sports cars, bikes,
etc for Como to Capri appreaciated - I only speak english.
Thanks.
