Everybody loves this take-off.
Located just below Cima Grappa and its well-known monument of the First World War, the wide take-off “Panettone” allows take-off in two directions: east-south-east (paragliding and hang gliding), and west (paragliding only). When you reach it from the hiking path no100, the small hill with the windsock will stand in front of you, you just need to cross the General Giardino road.
In case you will need to take-off west, it is recommended to pay attention to the holes of war origin that are hidden in the grass.
