WELCOME TO ALTIPORTO ALEVIA VALLELAGHI! This is the second airfield of Alevia, created as the alpine counterpart to the original Campo d’Aviazione Alevia AVXB in Milan. Located high above the Valle dei Laghi in Trentino, surrounded by the spectacular landscape of the Italian Alps, the airfield was conceived around a simple idea: flying here should be part of the destination. While Alevia’s first airfield represents urban general aviation, business flying and easy access to Milan, Vallelaghi follows a completely different philosophy. It is a compact, exclusive mountain airfield where terrain, altitude and changing alpine weather are an integral part of every flight. The 800-metre dirt runway follows the natural shape and slope of the mountain. Landings are performed uphill on Runway 09, while departures are made downhill on Runway 27. Strong winds, sudden gusts and local turbulence are common, making AVXL a demanding destination intended for experienced pilots and suitable aircraft. Above the main airfield, a secluded area hosts private hangars and alpine chalets overlooking the mountains. Away from the lights of the valleys below, AVXL is also an exceptional place for astronomical observation, offering spectacular views of the alpine night sky. The airfield is also home to an aerial rescue and firefighting base, serving as one of the most strategically important emergency aviation hubs in the Valle dei Laghi and supporting operations throughout the surrounding region (fictional). Despite these additions, Vallelaghi retains the intimate character of a mountain airfield, with its facilities integrated into the landscape. Elevation, runway gradient, terrain and wind make every operation more demanding than at Alevia’s Milan base. Altiporto Alevia Vallelaghi AVXL is not designed to be the easiest place to reach. It is designed to make the journey worth it.
