Where it is
Spotorno – basso is a low coastal launch at just 166 m on the Ligurian coast, reached by about a 5-minute walk from the parking area up a pronounced slope. It's set up for thermal and soaring flights along this stretch of coastline, facing southeast through southwest out toward the sea. The name — basso, meaning 'low' — reflects its modest altitude, which favours short, easy soaring sessions over long cross-country ambitions. Being so close to parking makes it a convenient, low-commitment option: a quick way to get in the air without a long approach, well suited to pilots exploring the string of coastal launches along this part of Liguria.
Launch & conditions

Check conditions before you fly
A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Spotorno – basso, 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 Spotorno – basso 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.
