Dear Ralph McCarthy, we are honored that your club is interested in participating in the next edition of the Flying Glider Meeting on Monte Cucco. Firstly, we can inform you about the logistical plan: the reference airport is San Francesco Int. Airport in Assisi (Perugia) Aeroporto Internazionale dell'Umbria - Perugia, regularly connected with the London airports of Heathrow and Stansted, operated by British Airways and Ryanair respectively. Here you can rent the means of transport that best suits your needs. Regarding accommodation, you can book at 'Albergo Ristorante Montecucco da Tobia,' where most of the participating pilots stay since it is in a strategic location near the slope. Not to be excluded are the hotels in Sigillo: Dominus Hotel, Ostello Del Volo, Villa Costanzi - Breezy Terrace On The Cucco, Appartamenti Albarosa by Holiday World, etc. For all other aspects, we are finalizing agreements with the Mayor of the Municipality of Sigillo. Having obtained your e-mail contact, we will definitely keep you informed.
Looking forward to seeing you at our next meeting on Monte Cucco 2027, we send you our warmest greetings. Domenico Del Rossi Gen. Sec. of G.A.S.P. Villanova PERUGIA.
