We're flying at Grappa Mountain in northeastern Italy for a few
days before heading for
a weekend competition in Feltre to the northeast and then way south for the
pre-Worlds in Montecucco
(Cucco Mountain). We are camped at
Robert Nichele's previous family home in Cassola near the town of Bassano
del Grappa, and the launch and
LZ are only a few miles from here.

The site is a mountain launch on the north side of the basically flatlands
stretching west to east across northern Italy from Torino to Venice. This is a
view of it looking north northeast:

The point marked De Bepi is near the hang glider launch, a wooden ramp. This is
what the launch looks like from Google Maps:

When you come here to fly you start at the LZ, with its large hotel and
restaurant, parking area, shuttle and camping area. There is a small fee for
using the launches and landing area and the shuttle is about 10 Euros (requires
four passengers to make the trip).

You can see the LZ and the approaches
here. The shuttle info
here.

The current weather is found
here. All the launches and landing areas
here.

This is the site of a well attended competition that takes place at each Easter
vacation (which moves around a lot). The 2010 competition waypoints indicated
that they flew mostly out front to the south of the mountains.
