Paragliding Greece

The group of Flugschule Göppingen spent a great time in the beginning of November at Mount Olympus with thermal flights from the different sites around Mount Olympus.

An excursion to the worldfamous Meteora Monasteries with some flying at the hills of Farkadona on the way towards the monasteries and a trip to the hot baths of Aridea for relaxation were other highlights of the holiday.

A great paragliding week with interesting thermalling and XC flights around Mount Olympus.

The Swiss pilots flew from almost all our sites: Little Church, Krania, Litohoro, Kalivia, Sikourio and Kalipefki.

On some days they flew from three different take-offs, following the sun from east to west.

All pictures by Renato Berner, thank you!

Renato made with his pictures a great documentation of his three cross country flights:

• from Krania back to the beach of Neos Panteleimonas – a morning flight from an eastern take-off along the north east side of Kato Olympus
• from Kalivia at the south side of the main mountain of Olympus along the valley of Karia – here he reached the sea side of the mountain on top of the cloud base – until the beach of Leptokaria next to the hotel
• from Sikourio in Kissavos mountain he crossed the valley of Tembi with great views until the sea and on the river Pinios below
