Trofeo 100 Laghi 2020
Italian Open 2020 edition takes place in Tizzano Val Parma, in the heart of most famous food valley in the world. The takeoff of Monte Caio is about 20 minutes by car from the village and the area around it, part of the nationl park Parco dei 100 Laghi, offers multiple outdoor activities.
The Flying Site
The takeoff from Monte Caio is only 50 km from the Tirrenian Sea and 30 km from the Padanian flatland. This localization offers challenging and variable conditions, rich of strong thermals and huge convergences wich give the chance to fly the whole Emilian Apennins range Flying over small hills or 2000 m mountains the playground offers many possible tasks; each one with various flyable ways. The site is holding from the last years the record for the longest flat triangle in the Italian Apennins.
Many collateral activities are available for pilot’s families and accompanists: swimming pool, mountain climb, bike tours, castles, restaurants and of course the Food Valley tour… to discover where and how is produced the food who everyone tasted at least once time in his life.
