You stand at the launch field on Monte Plose with cold alpine air on your face and the town of Brixen falling away below you. A quick safety briefing, a couple of practiced steps, and the canopy fills; the slope and the world drop into silence as you lift into a sky of serrated limestone ridges and green pastures.

You stand at the launch field on Monte Plose with cold alpine air on your face and the town of Brixen falling away below you. A quick safety briefing, a couple of practiced steps, and the canopy fills; the slope and the world drop into silence as you lift into a sky of serrated limestone ridges and green pastures.
The Dolomites are ancient reef rock—pale, vertical cliffs carved by glaciers and weather over millions of years—soaring above the broad Eisack Valley. Plose sits on the northern edge of that drama, offering thermals that local pilots have used since the early days of sport flying. The area blends Ladin and Tyrolean culture: Italian coffee and Austrian-style farmsteads, with mountain huts where local cheeses and speck anchor the region’s hospitality.
From the harness you’ll float above alpine meadows, dark spruce stands, and jagged spires. Eagles and ravens sometimes ride the same thermals, daring you to keep up. Landings are usually gentle—onto a meadow or an alpine clearing—so the memory is more of calm than crash.
Practical details: flights are tandem with an experienced pilot, usually about 45–60 minutes of airborne time depending on conditions. Wear layered windproof clothing, sturdy shoes, and bring a small camera. Weight and weather limits apply; operators provide helmets, harnesses, and transport to launch. Book in the morning for more stable conditions and expect cancellations in strong winds or low clouds. For anyone comfortable running a few steps at takeoff and eager for a high, clear perspective on the Dolomites, Plose delivers a clean, vivid flight.

Monte Plose and the surrounding Dolomites formed from ancient coral reefs uplifted during the Alpine orogeny; local towns reflect a cross-border Tyrolean and Italian heritage.
Pilots and operators follow local flight corridors to limit disturbance to wildlife and grazing lands; stick to designated landing zones and pack out any waste.
