I'm trying to plan a trip to Arco and need some info from some experienced jumpers.

I need to know what the best place to fly into is, what trains to take, places to get rental cars, hotels, etc...etc...

I was planning on early september. What time of year is best in terms of weather, winds, turbulence?

All details and info would be appreciated. I will be going with jumpers that have experience with the wall, but its easier to pull my own teeth out than plan a trip with BASE jumpers.

Thanks!

What's your level of BASE experience?

Be sure to read the Site Guidelines (attached to this post as .pdf file, with a little clean up for English grammar--the original is in this thread as well as clearly posted in several places near the wall.


You may want to talk to some locals or near-locals (there are several who post here) so hopefully they'll chime in.

The easiest plan from the US is to fly into Malpensa (Milan area's biggest airport) and rent a car there, then drive out to the site. This will also give you a car for shuttling to the trailhead.

BASE283 posted a nice diagram of wind conditions there (can somebody find it and post the link?), if you look through the forum.

Hey Jay,

PM me if you have other questions.
