I'm going to be jumping Brento from June 1-12, and will be traveling alone. Starting June 13, I meet up with 3 American friends in Zurich and we tour/jump the Alps-loop together until June 28.

One of the other guys is organizing the June 13-28 leg, so I'm covered there. But for June 1-12, I'm on my own and thought to post here for advice since I've never been there.

I'll have a rental car during this time. My hope is to run into other jumpers and team up to have 2 cars.

What about lodging? Should I try to find a place to stay (hostel?) in Riva del Garda? Or is the actual landing area in a different location and Riva del Garda is just the biggest town/city nearby (if so, how far)?

Depending on the price/availability of lodging, is there any place I can camp if I have to?

Any info on the logistics of jumping (and staying near) Brento would be much appreciated. Also, if anyone will be there June 1-12, let me know.

Thanks,

Brian

you can stay at pizzeria guiata for 30 euros a night at:

via degasperi 5
pietramurata, italy
+39 04 64507330

they speak limited english but their daughters speak english and hot. go to bar zebrata in the LZ which is 5 km south of the above hotel to meet jumpers . the above hotel is nice for 30 euros and jumper friendly,, my friend olivier might be out there during your trip' adventure but no dates yet.

so camping in the LZ is acceptable? I'm planning on making a trip out there around the same time, but probably a little later (around 14 or 16 June) and will be trying to save as much money as possible. is a rental car a necessity or can you just take the bus to Arco and hump it/hitchhike wherever you need to go?

When you travel with Paul, make sure you bring raincoat and umbrella

The Legal answer would be NO.
Take care,

gotcha

congrats on your B and your # !!!!! that was a fun adventure.. see you at spaghetti garden in italy for some beer u owe, pasta, and good times

ciao and bonjour
