Italian Open Hang Gliding Championship 2008 Palazzago, Bergamo, 30th April - 4th May

This year the usual Bergamo Hang gliding Trophy (Trofeo Internazionale dell'Isola) has become the Italian Open Hang Gliding Championship. The Championship is open to foreign pilots.

The event will take place on 30th April through 4th May in Palazzago, near Bergamo. Launch points will be Monte Linzone (1400 mt) and Monte Farno (1250 m) in Val Gandino. The landing place will be the usual landing field in Palazzago, near Bergamo.

Pilots who have never had the chance to fly over the Orobic Prealps should try this nice flying area. Landscape varies from plains to mountains, from alpine valleys to milder hills. You can easily fly over Lecco Lake to the West and try to reach Brescia towards east.

In summer 2007 our pilots Fabrizio Giustranti and Marco Cereda took off from Monte Farno, flew 210 and 180 kms and reached Austria.

At last, the competition will be an occasion to share five pleasant days with pilots and friends. We hope you'll join us at the Italian Open Hang Gliding Championship 2008!!
