Monte Nerone Startplatz 2

Monte Nerone Startplatz 2 sits at 1,417 m in the Marche Apennines and is a genuinely multi-functional flying mountain, with launch and soaring options facing nearly every compass direction rather than a single fixed take-off. An access road brings pilots comfortably by car right to the launch area, which removes the usual hike-in tax that comes with a site this useful. Beyond the main launch, further take-off options run west and north along the ridge west of the summit plateau, so pilots can choose the point that best matches the day's wind rather than being locked into one exposure. The recorded wind directions are north and west, and the mountain's all-around launch options make it a flexible choice across a range of conditions rather than a narrow-window site. Landing is in the fields west of Serravalle di Carda, giving a clear, spacious target for the approach. Between the drive-up access and the multiple launch points, Monte Nerone rewards pilots who check the wind first and then simply pick the matching side of the mountain.
