Aero Club Como
This unique club with its fleet of seaplanes is perhaps the only location in Southern Europe where you can learn to get your Seaplane Private Pilot’s Licence. Contact the club by telephone +39 031 574495 or email info@aeroclubcomo.com to get more information and maybe also to book a test flight to see how you might take to the experience.

Gliding Club Lariano (Aeroclub Volovelistico Lariano)
Their website (in Italian only) states:
Do you want to try the feeling of a flight in a glider?Do you want to give someone a special present?
Call the club secretary on + 39 031 619250 or send an email to segreteria@avl.it or come and visit us on the airfield in Alzate Brianza (Como) any weekend.
We organise tourist trips throughout the year. After the flight you will get a certificate to verify your first flight in a glider.
For more information:
Our club promotes glider flights for a number of reasons not just test flights in two seater gliders pilotted by an instructor. Often after an introductory flight many go on to choose to follow a course with us to get a pilot’s licence.
Alzate Brianza is a short distance outside of Como. The club operates at weekends and of course lights are dependent on the weather.
