The face of Monte Brento in the village of Dro (ten kilometres
north of Riva del Garda and five kilometres north of Arco) is perhaps the second
most fascinating rock face in Europe for those who love this way of sky diving.
The very difficult "Via Vertigine", which has had some
casualties, is reserved to very experienced sky divers. This is stated to
immediately clarify that jumping is nice, but doing it without adequate
preparation is extremely risky. Visit the Internet site: www.baseitalia.com,
especially for Base Jumping lovers that come to this area. Here Giuseppe "Bepi"
Hoffer, senior member of the Trentino parachutists and experimenter of
the "wing suit" worn by the late Patrick De Gayardon (the French
extreme sky diver deceased in 1998 in Hawaii during an extreme jump),
provides all of the explanations on this sport and on how adequate preparation
is necessary to jump from this face. Sticking to these rules is the only way to
go back home having felt all the excitement that a jump like this can offer.
