- In this how-to video, I explain how to fly "un classico di Bassano" - the standard 120 km triangle in Bassano del Grappa. Watch the video to get many hints about the route, the key spots, and the options you have during the flight. Maybe I can inspire you for this Italian adventure, and we will meet in the air over Bassano!

One of the best and useful paragliding videos I've seen! Thanks for making it. I put this route on my para-bucket-list.
Maybe the best tutorial video about flying around Bassano. Thanks Dmitry, sending you coffee.
Wow, thanks! Glad you found it useful! Maybe see you there 😊
This is one of the best paragliding videos out there. Please consider preparing similar tutorials from other places.
Thank you for your feedback! Indeed, there will be more videos in the XC GUIDE series!
Классный полёт и пояснения по ходу событий просто супер. Спасибо за ваши труды и то что делитесь роликами с нами.
Das allerbeste Bassanovideo ever. Volle Information, Null Bullshit.
Es freut mich, dass das Video gefallen hat, danke!
Best video ever on XC! Thanks to you I'm moving to Bassano, see you there I suspect 😂
This is very helpful and interesting. Thank you very much indeed.
this might be the best xc video I have ever seen, realy good instructional tips too. it made me happy inside. please continue to do such tings man!
Thank you! Will do!
Very useful video for newbies, to be sure. It sure makes it easier to learn how to fly flights like this when you can see the whole thing as a video ahead of time. Back when I started flying cross country in the 1980s, we had no cell phones, no digital video, no GPS, and no one to show us what to do.we had to figure it out for ourselves. The learning curve was pretty steep.
Yeah, we're lucky we have RUclips and cameras nowadays. Much easier to learn everything, including XC paragliding 😊
Best tutorial for flying in bassano!thanks for sharing!
Now that is how you do an XC video. Brilliant, thank you.
Thank you for your feedback!
Great video!!! thank you for putting this together
One of the best PG videos I've seen! I hope you start narrating all your videos instead of adding text :)
Glad you liked it! The XC GUIDE series will be in such format for sure.
Wow, eines der besten Erklärvideos das ich je gesehen habe. Danke!
Thank you! I absolutely love this video. So clear, so informative. I've been trying to fly from Bassano to Garda lake for two years now, without success so far. I've bombed out shortly after the Schio crossing. With the help of this video, I'm sure I'll get further next time! Any chances you might do such video?😉
Thanks for watching! Flying from Bassano to the Garda lake is possible, there are several flights logged on XContest. Wish you good luck! Indeed, getting back from the Garda lake to Bassano in the same flight is a tough challenge - that's the reason I haven't tried it yet. Maybe with my new (faster) wing I'll try it though 😊
Wow, excellent video with lots of information and instructions. Definitely at the top of my top 5 paragliding videos to watch. I don't know the part towards Schio and I'm a little too cautious to take your "leave the climb, you have a lot of height" advice, but even for a turning point much earlier than your, this is a very valuable video. Congratulations.
Thank you for watching, and I'm glad you found it useful! When we learn to fly, we first learn how to circle in the thermals to fly far. Then, we learn how NOT to circle in the thermals to fly farther 😀 With more experience, we feel better where to be patient and where to push. But better learn slowly - to stay safe and have fun!
Thank you for this amazing video. 🌞🌞🌞
You are so welcome! Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the video 😁 I wasn´t sure how to proceed after the Schio crossing so far but last weekend I was able to fly 100 ❤
Nice work! Glad my video was helpful to you! 🙌
Amazing film! Grazie.
Ich bin dieses Dreieck auch schon öfter geflogen. SUPER erklärt, ich mache alles exakt so. Thumbs up!👍
Danke für das Feedback! Es freut mich natürlich, so ein Lob von wirklich erfahrenen Piloten zu bekommen 😊
i flying there since 10 years and this is one of my favrite spots, and your vid is one of the best i ever seen from there. Great work
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bravissimo

Fantastic video, thanks, keep those up!
Thanks for watching! More to come.
Super Video, eines der besten überhaupt! Die Strecke wollte ich schon lange mal fliegen!
Love the format ! Thanks for sharing the video : )
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
dymanoid = N. 1 !!!
Great Video cant wait to try this next year! Hopefully we get good conditions in January/February already!
So well described... So inspiring
Hope take it once one day 🤩
Thank you from🇹🇳😊😊
very good tutorial, I was supposed to go there this week, but the weather didn't look very good, so we canceled the trip. will definitely watch this again before going next time.
What a nice flight! Thanks a lot for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
thx I really enjoyed this vid with your relaxed flying !
Awesome, thank you!
Great flight and a great video! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching! Glad you found it useful.
Thanks so much . Highly informative, clear and enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful!
Hey man, this video is one of the most useful I've ever seen about paragliding! We need more of those!
Thank you! More to come, just waiting for the XC weather.
Same here! My goal for the next season is to achieve this flight, and this video will help a lot!@@dymanoid
Your best video yet! Makes me want to come back to Bassano sometime and try that route!
Go for it!
Super! Das hätte ich vor ein paar Wochen gebraucht 😉
Danke! Vielleicht hilft's ja beim nächsten Flug, egal wann er sein wird 😊
Really enjoyed this wonderfully informative video. I'm heading out to Bassano in the spring and will do my best to follow your route.
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Awesome, thank you! Wish you luck!
I went to Bassano this summer and WISH i’d seen this! Especially for your key thermal triggers, as I did struggle finding strong lift. Cheers!
Well, with the exception of that cemetery, I didn't actually point to any triggers - I've always said "Search for thermals here". So rather key spots to gain the altitude, not triggers 😀 Anyway - I wish you success for your next Bassano flights, I hope this video helps you fly farther and faster!
Awesome video!! Thanks a lot for sharing and commenting! 👍👌
Glad you liked it!
wunderbar
Great video. Enjoyed every part of it. Regards, Ben - HG-pilot.
Many thanks! I see HG pilots in Bassano from time to time.
@@dymanoid Some day I'll come down there and fly 🤟🏼😊
Danke für das sehr detailreiche Video. Genau sowas suche ich schon eine ganze Weile. Werde das Video vor dem nächsten Bassano-Urlaub nochmal genau studieren und dann nachfliegen. Bisher liegt mein Rekord in Bassano bei etwa 45km, das war aber One-way, ohne einen richtigen Plan, einfach mal drauf los. Das Potential habe ich aber da schon verspürt und träume seither von den 100km XC:)
Viel Erfolg! Wenn mein Video tatsächlich hilft, eine größere Strecke in Bassano zu schaffen, dann habe ich mein Ziel erreicht! Übrigens, an den richtig guten Tagen geht auch deutlich mehr - 150-170 km und sogar bis zu 200 km. Vielleicht mache ich ein Video auch über solch eine Stecke, mal schauen.
Thanks a lot! I’m use to fly to here but still not your level
I’ll try soon to do the same
Super gemacht, Dimi!
Demnächst dann wohl ein interview bei Lucian ;-)
Ich quere die Brenta lieber auf den hinteren Route. Der Talwindströmt strömt da zuverlässig hoch und man kommt soarend immer über das Gipfelkreuz. Habe da selbst bei Westwind nie ein relevantes Lee erlebt.
Danke! Ich habe die beiden Optionen probiert - beide gehen gut, die vordere ist aber dann meistens etwas schneller. Bei der hinteren Option besteht das Risiko, da stecken zu bleiben und doch nach vorne vorfliegen zu müssen (schon ein paar Mal gesehen). Wenn's aber gut geht, dann ist die hintere Option etwas entspannter, ja.
Thanks for that really good video. As an old pilot i have never flown there. Looks loke hangsoaring deluxe.
Glad you enjoyed it! You should definitely come to Bassano - a really nice place.
We flew that day too, not a bad day for October. Peak 6 looks great, I'm thinking about it.
Yep, that week was just awesome, such a pleasant weather to fly! I really like the Peak 6, but it might be slightly less performant compared to the other top EN-D wings like Leopard, XCRacer, or Zeno 2. On the other side, it's much more comfortable compared to them and has probably the most pleasant handling in this category.
Lovely new Vblog style!
Glad you like it! This needs much more work indeed 😅
Nice tutorial! Would love to do half of that route Lol. I am a new pilot.. lots to learn still. I will be heading to Bassano later this month.
We all start as newbies and gather experience year by year. Stay safe and learn new things, but better not on RUclips only 😉
muito bom, gostei do mix de tecnicas que você tem que ter para fazer esse 100 km...
uma verdadeira matesrclass!!!
gracie mille
Grazie per aver guardato! Ora potete provare da soli. Ci vediamo in volo!
Димон! Красавчик ) Очень содержательно и красиво. Побольше таких туториалов, пжл...мы по ним летаем )
Mr Dmitry, awesome job! Could you please make another one with some detailed videos in other spots and places.
Thanks for watching! There will be more XC guides for sure, stay tuned! Мягких посадок!
Ein sehr gutes Lehrvideo mit vielen wertvollen Profi-Tipps und taktischen Ratschlägen. Anerkennende Worte, herzlichen Glückwunsch! Man sieht sofort, dass der Autor in diesem Bereich viel und mit großem Engagement geflogen ist. Ich habe auch einige Erfahrung mit Überlandflügen in Bassano. Allerdings bin ich der Meinung, dass man nie genug gute und wertvolle Ratschläge haben kann. Darüber hinaus denke ich, dass es für einige Piloten sehr interessant und hilfreich wäre, wenn ein ähnlicher Film gedreht würde, in dem Ost und West in einem Flug kombiniert würden. Ich meine hier das Gebiet von Bassano über den Fluss Piave nach Valdobbiadene oder sogar bis zum Col Visentin in der Gegend von Vittorio Veneto. Zurück durch die Startgebiete da Beppi, Stella, Costalunga, dann Monte Summano, Cima Forni Alti und Cima Palon im Gebiet Ossario Pasubio. Von diesem westlichsten Wendepunkt zurück nach Bassano für eine wohlverdiente Pizza und Rotwein bei Emanuele's im L'Antica Abbazia 🪂🍕🍷😀 Herzliche Grüße! Wojtek 🙋♂️
Danke für den Kommentar! Was die größere Strecke angeht, da bin ich diese Route tatsächlich schon ein paar Mal geflogen (im Osten bis Col Visentin, im Westen nicht ganz bis Pasubio, sondern nur bis Monte Summano). Das waren ca. 150 km. Mit dem schnelleren Schirm sollte es jetzt auch möglich sein, die volle Strecke bis ca. 180-190 km zu erweitern. So ein Video steht auf jeden Fall auf meiner To-Do-Liste!
Awesome video, super informative, please more "xc guide" like content🙏 Let's vote for Algodonales 😅
Thank you and I'm glad you liked it! More to come - indeed!
Thank you for this great video…… I am every month in Bassano to train my paragliding skills…. But as I only fly since two years I am far from those flight….. hope one day it will work….. thx
You can do it! Work on your thermaling and safety skills, don't rush. Start with shorter routes - 20 km, 40 km, and so on. And have fun!
He: From Piave-river to Stella you can go in a straight line, just hit the bar.
Me: Thermalling every ridge, petting every squirrel in the trees on the way back.
Nice video dude. Interesting and educational woulda be nice if you put numbers on the how strong the winds are.
Thank you for watching! There is no reliable way to measure the wind speed during the flight without a true air speed sensor which I don't have. My flight instruments only give a very rough estimation based on the GPS tracking, so the only meaningful info I could have included would be "light headwind" or "strong tailwind" which is probably not what you want.
really nice and helpful video! Would be interesting to see your height data all the time to better judge the conditions on your glide. Maybe in a naxt video? :)
Thanks for watching! I haven't found any feasible way to sync the GPS data with the Insta360 camera, especially when I do fast forward in the Insta360 Studio app. Manually synchronizing the data would be a nightmare. If you have any suggestions - please let me know, I'll try everything.
@@dymanoid i think there i no way to integrate the data directly. You will need 3rd party software for that. I belive the software will do the synchonization via timestamps automatically. I've never done it on my own, but there are some nice paragliding videos with telemetric data out there, so there has to be a way^^
@@Meiner_Einer let me know if you find the way, i am interested as well to learn and apply
@@dymanoidthe best thing is to sync the start of the video then do all fast forward in a video editor like première
Beautiful, what low b wing would you recomend?
I wouldn't recommend any wings. You could ask your instructor, your flying school, or experienced pilots who know you and your skills and flying style.
Thanks for video!! Just one question: which is the better season to try this task at this place? Thanks for your help in advance!
Thanks for watching! The best months for big XC flights in Bassano are probably March-May and August-September. Still, sometimes it works in February, June or October as well.
Very impressive how little you bother to climb just relying on ridge lift. As a new xc pilot I waste tons of time topping out every good climb.
I know this place very well, so it's easy to fly low and fast. I surely fly more defensive in new places where I first discover what works and what doesn't.
@@dymanoid Is it really so reliable every day when it's working it works so good?
@@turkeyphant Surely not every day, but you can feel how good the day will be just in the first 20-30 mins of the flight. Cloud base, thermal strength and size, meteo wind, cloud picture, and so on.
would have been useful last month xD
Well, you still can fly a 100 km triangle mid October in Bassano - I did it last year, for example 😉
What APP you use to record all your XC?
I use my flight instrument XCTracer MAXX to record my flight tracklogs. I also use an app called XCTrack for navigation and live tracking during the flight. For 3D visualization in this video, I used an online service called replay.flights. I store all my flights on DHV-XC - a German paragliding flight database, and most of the flights also on XContest.
can you tell me about your helmet and sun glasses ?
My helmet is a quite old one - Icaro 2000 4Fight (I believe you can't buy it anymore). My goggles are Scott Faze II LS.
Hi, I wonder if is it possible to fly further to the east and reach the Meduno take off? 5:58
Yes, it's possible - but only one way, of course. You have to keep in mind the restricted airspaces though - you only have a chance to do it on Saturday or Sunday, because there are restricted airspaces (Aviano) active on weekdays. You can cross the Piave river and fly to Belluno and then back. Up to 200 km triangles are possible in this way. I'll do a video about flying a 150+ km triangle visiting Belluno soon 😀
@@dymanoid thank you for the quick response with such useful informations! Meduno was my first place, where I met thermals. Waiting for the next video!
what time of the year is the best to fly this range? oh you mention october and march already I see now.
I wonder how far I could come with my A-Glider
The best time for XC flying in Bassano is probably March-May and August-September. On an EN-A wing, a 50-60 km route is doable for sure. For a 100 km triangle on an EN-A you will need a perfect day - no wind and exceptionally high cloud base (more than 2000 m AMSL).
@@dymanoid thanks a lot. Basically I need more hight. What do you mean with "no wind"? no wind = no thermals, I wonder.
Hi there. In which month of the year you did this?
And what are the best times to do this? :)
You can check the video description - I referenced my XContest flight there. I flew this triangle on October the 1st, and last year a similar one on October the 8th - so you can even do this in late autumn. The best time is probably March-May and August-September.
@@dymanoid Very nice! Thanks for the answer and for this video. Congrats!
is it possible to do this with an EN A wing?
I believe, an experienced pilot could fly this route on a modern EN-A wing on an exceptionally good day (high cloud base, light wind). However, no such flights have been recorded until today. A more realistic route would be about 80 km without the Schio crossing.
Hi, the download link for the igc file is dead. Any chance you could re upload it? Cheers.
That's strange. I just checked the link, and it indeed works. To download the file, you need to be logged-in on XContest though.
Thanks for your quick reply. I'm logged in, and neither the igc or the Google Earth links work. Igc link is a http 401 error, Google Earth is a 404 error. Cleared cache, cookies etc, tried different browser, link just doesn't work 🤷
@@luketheduke1982 That's really weird, because I can download both files (when logged-in). In the incognito mode (not logged-in), I observe exact the same errors as you mention. Maybe you could reach out to XContest support... I cannot change anything about the flight IGC file anyway.
Don't ask me why 😅
Did you fly now, October 2023?
Yes, you can find the XContest link in the video description. I flew this route and recorded the video on 1st of October 2023.
the glaring engineering flaw in paragliders is coupling the structural integrity of the lifting body to the stall.
Servus,
und wie taugt dir da Peak? Erzählt hast ja, dasst drauf wartest.
Lg,
Niklas
Und geiles Video ;)
Danke, bin froh über das Feedback! Den Peak finde ich super, mir gefällt das Handling und auch die Gleitleistung. Ach ja, die Farbe ist auch echt genial, passt perfekt zu meiner Jacke und zum Helm 😊
How do you pee?
For long flights, all XC pilots use special... uhm... let's say "equipment" for that. There are different kinds of them. We call it "pee tube".
I'm planning to the same on a EN-A wing. Swing Mito 🪂🤌
A 120 km route in Bassano on an EN-A is a tough challenge! It might work if there's not much wind and the cloud base is exceptionally high. Wish you luck! But maybe it's better to start with a shorter route - for example, 70 km without the big Schio crossing.
@@dymanoid Thanks!
Excellent! Very informative vid! I flew this triangle but only out Asiago in May. I ended up completing a 70k triangle. I look forward to doing the 120k one next time.
Glad you find it helpful! Did you mean the Marostica takeoff?
@@dymanoid Faraoro takeoff is as far west as I could make it.
