LAUNCH POINT
Malga Colonei di Caprino – Caprino Veronese
Another very popular launch area for enthusiasts is located in the meadows adjacent to Malga Colonei di Caprino, in the municipality of the same name. The flight area is the southern slope of Monte Baldo and Lake Garda. In this case the view sweeps across the varied landscape between the lake and the mountain and opens up into the beautiful setting of the charming villages of Costermano, San Zeno di Montagna and Caprino Veronese. To reach the launch point, take the road that from Loc. Spiazzi climbs towards the Memorial and from here to Malga Ime and then Malga Valfredda Crocetta; continue along the paved road until you reach the Malga Colonei di Caprino. Instead, there are several landing points.
