Description:

With the Dolomiti Bellenusi in the back and a big valley in front of you, flying from Monte Avena gives you amazing and panoramic cross country flights. Feltre is a good place for improving your cross country skills. From the take-off you have the possibility to follow the main ridge in the valley, which is 100 km go and return, go in the flatlands or cross the valley. The valley has many landing options, thus no problem to find a landing zone during your flight. Feltre was also last year’s host for the World Championships.

The goal of the XC-course is to improve your cross country flying skills. Many things can influence a cross country flight, like wind, thermals, clouds and topography. The key is to be able to adapt your plan to the conditions.
