• These 5 days of training are intended to introduce people into the world of Terminal BASE jumping.

  • All jumps will take place from the main exit at Monte Brento.

  • As with all of my trainings, I tailor progressions to students skill levels. The outline below is just a general guideline. Day 1 will always be the same for everyone, but the following days will have a lot of flexibility.

  • Each day there will be detailed debriefs following each jump, and progression will be tailored individually.

Getting to Italy:

When I have a group formed I will create a WhatsApp group for you all to communicate through. While it can be difficult to coordinate flight schedules when people are flying from different parts of the US, it can work out, and save on some of the expenses.

Look at flying into:

Milan- MXP - 3 hour drive

Verona - VRN - 2 hour drive

Munich - MUC - 5 hour drive - While the drive is much longer, the cost of rental cars is significantly cheaper in Germany so take that into consideration when making arrangements.

Accommodation:

Usually I recommend we all stay at Camping Diano. They have a huge property with bungalows, RV hook-ups, and campsites, so it caters to all budget levels. They also have a bar/restaurant on site, and a swimming pool which is a nice touch.

It’s located less than 10 minutes from the landing area which is very convenient considering we will be starting most days at 5am.

Daily Schedule:

  • Brento is run similar to a Dropzone in the sense that they have loads going at specific times which you have to manifest for.

  • Based on the weather patterns there are usually two loads in the morning, and one in the afternoon. The first load of the day can be as early as 5:30am.

  • The typical flow is that we all get on a mini bus which will drive us up the mountain. This takes about an hour. Then we hike for approx 30 minutes to get to the exit point. The hike is not very challenging but it has a decent amount of ups and downs to get the blood flowing. I recommend you have a good pair of hiking shoes/boots.

  • 10-15 minutes to gear up, and another 10-15 minutes for us to exit.

  • The landing area is right next to the packing area.

  • Taking all the above into account, each load takes approximately two hours. If we start at 5:30am on the earlier end, and do two jumps, we will be finishing the morning sessions around 10 or 11am.

  • The evening load usually goes sometime between 4 and 6pm depending on the time of year.

Italian BASE Association - IBA

The IBA is largely responsible for keeping this site active for so long. They have a dedicated ground crew keeping an eye on each load, they help to maintain the exit point, landing area, and they help to maintain good relationships with land owners and local businesses.

In order to take my course you MUST register with them.

Health Insurance:

I strongly recommend you have some kind of travel insurance for your trip. Unfortunately, accidents happen, and things can get very expensive very quickly.

Travel Guard is a great option, and very affordable. They cover BASE jumping - get the extreme package.
