In the air
In the airA school that has been flying this valley since long before anybody thought of selling the seat. Off the slope above Poggio Bustone, with the Rieti plain waiting underneath.
From autumn to spring they fly the Lazio slope; in summer the school moves to Castelluccio in Umbria, so where you fly depends on when you come.
Poggio Bustone at its real position from Rome, with everywhere else we list behind it — so you can see how far out this one is.
