Every OutDare forecast for this site is compared afterwards with real readings from wind stations nearby (a hit = wind within 5 km/h). This score is measured, not promised. How we measure this
Where it is
The Marmolada is the 'queen of the Dolomites' at 3,342 m — and the flight from its summit down to Canazei is the very definition of a demanding alpinistic paragliding line. You climb on foot (mountaineering preparation, glacier travel skills and good conditioning are required), then take off from a glacier at high altitude, then glide down. Perfect weather is non-negotiable. This is not a day-trip site — anyone without full glacier skills should not attempt to move on this terrain.
Getting there & local rules
Reach the summit on foot via a mountaineering ascent. Landing down at Canazei in the Val di Fassa.
Check conditions before you fly
A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Marmolada, 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. In the free OutDare app you can open Marmolada with a 7-day forecast built from high-resolution weather models, see who else has been flying, and get there with offline maps.

A day counts as flyable when the surface wind held in your range, from a direction the site flies, with no rain, for at least 2 hours in a row (08:00–20:00) — from hourly 10 m wind over the last 12 months. A seasonal wind guide only: it can't judge gusts, thermals or turbulence, and never replaces the live forecast, airspace checks and your own judgement.
