Every OutDare forecast for this site is compared afterwards with real readings from wind stations nearby (a hit = wind within 5 km/h). This score is measured, not promised. How we measure this
Where it is
Rifugio Perugia offers a wide, open, grassy launch just a few minutes from the refuge itself, facing southwest through northwest in this part of the Abruzzo mountains. It's only one of several take-off options in the area — more can be found nearby or along the small track leading away from the refuge, giving pilots room to pick a spot that matches the day's wind rather than being tied to one exact point. Top-landing back near launch is possible, and there are further landing options down in the valley besides the one near San Pellegrino. It's a flexible, hike-friendly site for thermal, soaring and cross-country flying, well suited to pilots who like having a choice of both launch and landing on the day.
Launch & conditions
Wide, open, grassy launch a few minutes from Rifugio Perugia — just one of several take-off options along the small track leading from the refuge; look around for the spot that best matches the day's wind.
Getting there & local rules
Top-landing near launch is possible, and further landing options exist down in the valley besides the one near San Pellegrino.
Check conditions before you fly
A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Rifugio Perugia, read the wind and thermals for the site itself, confirm the day's rules with the local club, and remember the standing rule — when in doubt, don't launch. In the free OutDare app you can open Rifugio Perugia with a 7-day forecast built from high-resolution weather models, see who else has been flying, and get there with offline maps.

A day counts as flyable when the surface wind held in your range, from a direction the site flies, with no rain, for at least 2 hours in a row (08:00–20:00) — from hourly 10 m wind over the last 12 months. A seasonal wind guide only: it can't judge gusts, thermals or turbulence, and never replaces the live forecast, airspace checks and your own judgement.
