Paragliding & Hang gliding team in Lucca

Plateau of the Pizzorne is located in Lucca province.
The takeoff area, visible from plain because it's immediately below a high voltage electrical line, is used by paragliding and hang gliding pilots.
Flying is almost exclusively in thermal because orography is not suitable for soaring: for this reason Pizzorne is a good training site where you can improve your flying skill. 
   Infact, if you know the "hot spots", with a medium ability , your thermalling flight will last some hours, while in other places, you can only get bored with a soaring flight close to the mountain.
In the summer time using big thermals coming from the plain, quite often, you can achieve an height gain of 3000 ft and more, therefore start XC'ing towards Appennine Chain.
    If just isn't the right day, or if you still haven't sufficient feeling with your para/hangglide for thermic flight, then a top to bottom flight, expecially with tandem, and with the performance of modern paragliders, will allow you to reach the landing area with a good altitude and enjoy the exicting view of the 17th century villas..  http://www.altatensione.org/enindex.php
