Aufwind high-flight training in Meduno

Organizer: Flugschule Aufwind ↗

High-flight blocks within Aufwind's licence training, held on Monte Valinis near Meduno. The alpine meadows of Monte Valinis make an ideal launch area and there are wide landing fields in the valley, so students can build experience soaring and, with guidance, try their first thermal flights. Instructors handle on-site organisation, supervision at launch and landing, radios, site briefings and an introduction to thermals and cross-country flying; the school also books accommodation near Sequals. Meduno also serves as the alternative area when the weather north of the Alps is poor during a high-flight week. Rides up, launch and landing fees, accommodation and meals are paid locally.
