Soaring in north Italy

Hi,

We are going for a family vacation in northern Italy
(around lake Como and Toscaney) on the beginning of
October.
I am looking for a place that I can get some nice soaring
and maybe seaplane flights.
Tips anyone?
Thanx,

Yuval

The Federation's website includes a guide to gliding clubs:
http://www.fivv.it/dove_vv.htm

For soaring, I would suggest Varese-Calcinate (www.acao.it), and
Alzate Brianza (www.avl.it); in Tuscany, Mugello
(www.mugellogliding.aero/), or Arezzo.

For Seaplanes, the aeroclub of Como (http://www.aeroclubcomo.com/).

I also have some friends who own a beautiful ultralight seaplane, the
Seamax. They fly close to Milano and Varese.

best regards

I am looking for same. I found one site North of Como in High Mountains near Sondrio Italy that sounds interesting - they list a variety of single and tandom gliders http://www.csuttner.de/soaring/Italy/italy.html.
They sent me a complete list (in German) I can send you if you like. I'll be there in June 2006 - if you score a good site please let me know. I need only dual time, at least to start - I have a bunch of time in hang gliders, but only several in a L-23 and yet to solo. Also - any travel tips (lodging, dining, sites), places to rent sports cars, bikes, etc for Como to Capri appreaciated - I only speak english.
Thanks.

Thank you for the websites. Do you know if those locations are Alpine with potential for wave flights? I don't dare to leave my wife shopping in Milano - I would have no money left for flying.
