This trip is something what we call ‘extraordinary‘. We will start our weekend in Aviano, which is close to NATO military airfield where is the free flying on weekdays prohibited. Because it‘s a first ridge of the Po Valley raising from the Mediterranean sea, it has always the right wind direction with sea breeze. We fly either west to ‘Bassano Del Grappa’, or following the range east to Meduno. Local flying around the top of Cimon del Cavallo (2251 m.a.s.l) is also amazing. Next two day we will move to Greifenbourg (info Speikboden trip) and last three days will be spent in our favourite and friendly Slovenia. Depending on the best weather forecast we will start from west in Gemmona (take off 1170 m.a.s.l.) under the Mt. Cuarnan with local landing place at 185 m.a.s.l., Kobaridsky Stol around the highest mountain Krn (2224 m.a.s.l.) and following the rear ridge to magical and unspoiled Sorica. Most of our students achieve very first proper XC flights in theirs flying careers and those familiar with thermalling very often do their first 100 km flights. Slovenia is a very reliable destination with 300 flying days a year. Even, if you are a complete beginner, you will enjoy the hours of airtime boosting your confidence.

On our trips we always work in a team of three instructors – one driver and two pilots. One is flying in the front of the squadron with high performance wing, searching for the best thermals and route and the second pilot is closing the group looking after the slower ones and pilots flying school wings. If you are unlucky and had to lend, there is always our driver here to pick you up. This is ideal way of flying in a group and maximizes your chance for a good flight. Not like the others we do our best to keep you airborne.

*Accommodation – Stay Connected To The Nature

We know that your life is very busy and sometimes could be very stressful and hectic. That’s why we offer staying in the campsites instead of luxury hotels in the summer. We believe that making a barbeque, fire, having a good beer and chat is a real stress relief. Most of our clients even decide to sleep under the stars. The camps we use have all necessary facilities – showers, toilets, fridge, barbecue and social area.

We can provide you with a tent and self-inflating mat, just give us a shout. All you need to bring is your sleeping bag. Quite often we are asked by pilots to get a keg of Czech beer in our van – no problem. We are here to make you happy. At least for one week of holidays forget about your daily stress and enjoy yourself! Customers wishing to stay in hotel will be dropped off in the evening and picked up in the morning for the flying action
