English
The term freeflying means a flight done without the use of engine.
It indicates so the flight with a glider, a hang-glider or a paraglider. It is obvious that, in absence of updraughts, the freeflying is simply a long glide, whose length depends mainly on the height from which the starting jump is made and the efficiency of the craft.
On the opposite case, updraughts can be suitably exploited by the pilot to gain quote, even higher than the take-off quote (ore release, in the case of gliders).
In the Canavese area and the surroundings of Ivrea you can find the following flying school:
Parapendio Cavallaria
