ACTIVITIES

- paragliding
- soaring
- thermals
- xc

weather

Some times the thermals are really strong with turbulence. Above 700m and to the landing area the wind comes more from the north, so with a beginner glider is very hard to reach the point. Even at the takeoff, the wind changes from N to NW or W. This is not a good sign.

access

Take the Power cable (Dajti Express) one way. To reach the power cable you will need to take the bus from the center of Tirana (place Scanderbeg) the bus which goes toward the East (Dajti mount) station called Kinostudio. From there you have to call a taxi and in 5 min you are at the power cable station. Once you are up in the mountain (15min trip in the power cable cabin) you have to exit the building and go left, again left toward west to the ridge of the mount. There is a military base with some antenas. Just take the path near the base and you are at the takeoff.

regulation

Once above the hills in front of the mount, pay attentions because sometimes there are helicopters flying the path from S to N and vice versa.
