About Stelios & Claudia:

The Olympic Wings chief instructors with years of experience in organizing group flying seminars for the progression of XC pilots are certified professionals in paragliding and active pilots themselves for more than 20 years.

Location:

Mount Olympus is the highest mountain range in Greece with its highest peak Mytikas at 2.917 m. The south western area of the mountain has fantastic cross country and thermalling conditions. The large flatland area of Thessaly towards the south offers a big potential for open distance and triangle XC flights. A challenging flight is the cross country towards the Aegean Sea on the eastern side of Olympus with a beach landing.

The main take-off for the XC seminar is located on the western side of Mount Olympus, on top of the village Kalivia. It is called Tourtofolia and provides take-off directions towards west, south and east at a height of 1.250 m. Several paragliding and hanggliding competitions up to world cup level have been organized here already.

Alternative take-offs nearby are KEOAX, Elassona, Kalipefki.

Organization:

Olympic Wings organizes the XC seminar at Mount Olympus and offers accommodation and all transfers during the flying days for the pilots taking part at the seminar.

All necessary retrievals from XC flights are included in the transfers.

The pilots accommodation is located in an area close to a local flying site with short drives to the take-off.

You can book the XC seminar together with your accommodation and transfers directly through Olympic Wings.
