Best DZ in Italy

Recommended Posts

I'm going to be going to Italy this September and will be be traveling through most of the country. I was just wondering what the best DZ is. Since I will only be able to jump for a couple of days, I wanted to make sure I go to a good place.

Thanks in advance
Pete

Skydive Tortuga in Arezzo - Olav is awesome and will make you feel at home. The town of Arezzo is just south of Florence, so it is definately on the way (just a 10 euro cab ride from the train station) and you get to see the bridge from the Mona Lisa in freefall (yes, there is a bridge in the background of the Mona Lisa...go look it up if you don't believe me). All around great vibe and really amazing food at the DZ cafe.

Also check out Skydive Salerno south of Naples...although it is more difficult to get to by train and only open on weekends. Still, the view of the sea in freefall is unforgettable. On a clear day you see Mt Vesuvius and Capri/Ischia.

Sardinia has a great DZ as well, if you will be out there.

If I find them i'll let you know;). Is Arezzo a good place to stay or should i consider driving from Florence everyday? It looks like i'll be in Florence for a couple days before i go, so I could always just book my hotel for an extra couple days and just drive.

Thanks again.

I would suggest you get more detailed information regarding Arezzo because Olav is no longer there nor is Manuel Basso. It still is a very nice DZ but not as busy as it was in the past.
Molinella DZ near Bologna is very busy and now has a swoop pond. Bologna is an hour drive from Florence and the guys at the DZ are very friendly.
If you are looking for the best DZ as for weather and views you then have to come and jump in Nettuno, just 40 km south of Rome. The Dz is just 500 metres off the beach and the views of the Pontine Islands are awesome.
PM me for further info's.
BTW,................ I jump in Nettuno.

It looks as if there are going to be 2 DZ's in Sardinia this summer and both in the southern part just near Cagliari. In august the guys from Molinella fly their plane and crew to Castiadas and jump on the beach all day long. You will find info's regarding the DZ's on the website.

I occassionally see a boogie advertised for the current dz. I'm not sure if ever got that far south when I lived there. We were on the island of La Maddalena.
