Destination: ITALY - Norma, Cassino
Price: £465
Located in the west coast of Italy, the region Lazio offers great conditions for soaring above the huge rocky landscape and old stone villages. In the autumn there are still gentle temperatures with thermal activity, which give you good opportunity for XC flights. All flying sites are situated 50 km south from Roma. We will be staying in beautiful village Sermoneta in a friendly, fully equipped hotel, which was originally a stone convent. A Nice pub is also nearby. Close to our location is Mount Vesuvius and UNESCO World Heritage Site Pompeii, an old Roman city, which was completely buried on 24 August, 79 AD by the volcano’s eruption. A trip to Rome is also possible.
Come and join us on our trip to still sunny Italy, along with good flying and traditional great Italian cuisine.

On our trips we always work minimally in a team of one chief instructor and a driver, however most of the times you are looked after by three and more instructors to give you the maximum value on your XC day. 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; we organize the best deal for whole group according your requirements well in advance. (Usually 15 euros/night).
