How we rank
By the paraglider and hang glider flights the Open Glider Network saw take off at each spot in the last twelve months. The ranking follows where pilots actually fly and updates as they do; spots without flights follow, those with a guide first, then by height difference. Launch and landing data comes from the DHV site database.
Paragliding in Italy: questions
Guest pilots need a valid licence (IPPI card level 4 or the national equivalent) and third-party liability insurance. Many sites ask for a small day fee to the local club, and some require a site briefing before the first flight.
