For years now, the position and the continuous winds from the south or north have made the Massif of Monte Cucco (m.1566 asl) one of the most sought-after international destinations for hang gliders, who here find the environmental conditions (two distinct take-offs and easy access roads) and the optimal assistance for the flight. Which have favored the holding of two Italian championships, many international competitions where pilots from all over the world participated and still two world championships of free flight, 1999 and 2008. The Hotel Bar Restaurant MONTE CUCCO in Tobia is located in the immediate vicinity of the take-offs and offers free flight enthusiasts reliable weather information and valuable flight advice, from old Cucco pilots with great experience, for unforgettable flights in safety 
The south take-off: to fly with winds from North / West – South / West.
