The starting point can also be used as a landing point. Another starting point can be reached thanks to the chair- and skilift, going on 20 minutes on foot; the altitude is 2220 meters. Both starting points aren't fit for the Northern winds. Here there are more possibilities in Solda/Sulden by the Ortles/Ortler or in Sluderno/Schluderns. The landing point lies in Clusio/Schleis and the altitude is 1060 meters; the landing point lies beside the main road. You can live the charm of paragliding thanks to a "tandem flight" as well. To give your holidays a different flair, you can also fly overseen and accompanied by a professional pilot.
