Fiori del Baldo

Fiori del Baldo launches at 1,801 m on Monte Baldo, on the Veneto/Trentino border above Lake Garda, with take-off reached conveniently by chairlift rather than a hike. The launch itself is rated as easy and workable even for newer pilots, which pairs well with the lift access to make this one of the more approachable high-altitude sites on the massif. Wind from the south-east, south or south-west is what the site needs to fly. The landing field, at Prada, is generously sized but is hilly and bordered by trees, with a high-tension power line running along its western edge — the write-up specifically advises inspecting the field in person before committing to land there, rather than assuming a straightforward approach just because the take-off was easy. That contrast — an easy launch paired with a landing that rewards careful inspection — is the main thing to plan around here: treat the chairlift-served take-off and the Prada landing as two separate skill questions rather than judging the whole site by how simple it is to get airborne.

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Fiori del Baldo, read the wind and thermals for the site itself, confirm the day's rules with the local club, and remember the standing rule — when in doubt, don't launch.
