Tinley 0 #1 January 7, 2013 I am taking an assignment in Milan, Italy for about 6 months this year, starting in early March. I would love to stay current over there and I'm curious as to which DZ's I should visit or even better, frequent. The DZ's closest to Milan I have found are. - Accademia di Paracadutismo - Para Centro Locarno Is anybody familiar with either of these DZ's? Are there any other dropzones around the area? I am willing to travel a couple hours by train if necessary. What are the requirements for jumping overseas. I am currently a USPA C-license holder but D-License qualified. Also, DZ.com lists Skydive Vercelli as open but their website doesn't work and the email address is invalid. So I am assuming they're closed. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

primetime 18 #2 January 8, 2013 The USPA website lists 5 or 6 DZs in Italy. Body Fly University is just east of Reggio Emilia (2 hrs. from Milan): http://www.bfu.it Central Italy has drop zones all over the place. When I was there a few years ago, I found DZs in Pontecagnano (s. of Salerno), 2 overlooking the Adriatic (Fano and Fermo) and a little one in the Republic of San Marino.

piisfish 135 #3 January 8, 2013 I went to the 1st one, in Casale Monferrato. They usually fly a Turbo Finnist. Good people, good food around. Plus for Easter, there is a swiss invasion and an extra Turbo Porter flying in. Never went to Paracentro, but of what I heard they have a beautiful scenery, and prices tailor made for swiss bankers Casale tickets are around 33$ (25€) Locarno tickets are around 51$ (47CHF) scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpt.sirucek 0 #4 January 8, 2013 Hey! I am a Captain stationed in Germany. Naples has a great dropzone, but if I were you, I would highly suggest flying over to Barcelona, and then taking the train or renting a car and go up to skydive Empuriabrava, Spain. It is a canal city on the beach, with two twin otters, a porter, and a wind tunnel. It is a skydive oasis, and trust me, you'll enjoy the clubs, bars, and the great coaches there. Ryan air flies to Girona, Spain, which is about $133.00 from Germany and 25 minutes from Empuriabrava. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
