Pieve d'Alpago is a small town in the province of Belluno in Italian region of Veneto, located about 80 km North of Venice and about 11 km NE of Belluno. It has hosted Polish Nationals already three times – and always welcomed the participants with good flying conditions. Tasks are normally set to the West from the take-off and also to the South into the flat lands. On a good flying day a standard trip will be to go to Feltre and back.
