Norma
A balcony over the Pontine plain, and the place people come to when they want to fly.
16 things to bookthe nearest is a 1 h 31 drive from Rome
Norma stands on the edge of the Lepini escarpment with nothing in front of it for forty kilometres, which is exactly the shape a paraglider needs: a launch with height, a plain to land on and a reliable afternoon thermal off the rock face.
Almost everything bookable here gets you into the air, tandem, with somebody strapped in behind you. What is left is the walking — the ruined Roman city of Norba on the clifftop above the town, and the paths down through the holm oaks.
Best fit for this section first, then whatever you can book today. Closest to Rome breaks a tie. Never by who pays us.
