XC camp

Bassano XC light 2027 (Paragliding Holland)

A six-day cross-country course in Bassano for Brevet 2 pilots who want to start flying distance along the ridges of the Monte Grappa massif. According to the school, the lighter XC light format also suits pilots whose only rapid-descent techniques so far are big ears and speed bar. The school's XC courses are led by at least two experienced XC pilots in radio contact with a group of up to ten. The programme covers morning weather briefings, valley wind systems, route planning, instruments, descent techniques, reading the sky and terrain and the risks of strong thermals; every participant gets a live tracker. XC week locations are flexible: in poor weather the school may move the course to another mountain area and confirms the final location at least four days before the start.
