Monte Brento “Easy” BASE Exit Photo Gallery

Monte Brento ranks among the most traditional BASE exits in Europe. Over the years it has become a popular destination both with first-time jumpers and experienced wingsuit pilots. Its massive eastern walls shielding the Sarca river valley offer the depth of over 700 meters with lots of open space, large overhang and several safe landing grassfields. Limestone cliffs of Monte Brento are part of the North Italian province of Trentino and due to its parameters it definitely deserves a place in our lists. Thanks to the Czech BASE jumping rising star Martin Trdla, Adrex.com introduces this perfect BASE jumping spot through the following photo coverage.

For the BASE jumping purposes, just get to a small town of Sarche and continue less than three kilometers in the direction of Arco to the massif of Monte Brento. How would you find the right place? On your right side there will be the towering wall of Monte Brento as well as a grassy area next to the road - the main landing strip for BASE jumpers and a possible helicopter rescue services.

On the left you find a famous Parete Zebrata bar, the main BASE jumpers´ meeting point offering not just a perfect tea or coffee but an updated meteo service info and valuable advice for newcomers. The bar usually opens early in the morning and closes at 8 pm. Photo source: Bar Parete Zebrata FB profile

The exit is accessible on foot, there´s no need of any special climbing. However, certain places are somewhat exposed (close to the exit) and there are pretty steep parts of the descent. We strongly recommend the belay and a rope, which will provide adequate protection. The most visited exits are equipped with ropes, but you never know how long it has been used therefore not advisable to rely on.
