A warm mistral lifts you as you walk to the ridge; the Mediterranean spreads like a moving sheet below, and the ruins of Paestum sit quiet between sea and scrub. In a few breaths you’re harnessed to a seasoned instructor, the wing filling like a living lung, and gravity becomes a collaborator rather than a force. The takeoff is brisk—short run, instant lift—and then the coastline and temple-lined plains of Campania unfold in an angle no road can offer.
