Launch from a grassy ridge above Cuba Libre Beach and glide 10–15 minutes over Lake Ohrid, taking in cliff faces, medieval rooftops, and clear water. This guided tandem flight blends a short off-road approach with a memorable aerial perspective.

The wind lifts you before the ground lets go: a jeep coughs up a rough track, the trees thin, and suddenly the lake stretches wide below like a bright, moving mirror. You run a short, guided launch and the world rearranges — cliffs, olive-scarred slopes, and the old stone roofs of Ohrid folding toward the water as your pilot trims the glider.

Conservation
Lake Ohrid is ecologically sensitive with endemic species; respect shoreline access rules, avoid littering, and choose operators that follow low-impact landing practices.

Arrive with layers
Wind on the ridge can be sharp; bring a windproof jacket even on warm days to stay comfortable during the briefing and after landing.
Secure your camera
Use a wrist or chest mount—phones and cameras can slip in the wind and during landing; pilots often offer to take photos so ask before launch.
Mind the weight limits
Operators set a strict 20–100 kg weight range for safety—double-check when booking to avoid last-minute cancellation.
Book morning or late afternoon
Thermals are gentler and light is better for photos early or late in the day; mid-day flights can be bumpier.
Closed-toe hiking shoes
Provide grip on the grassy take-off and stable footing during the jeep transfer and landing.
Windproof jacket
Protects against cold gusts at elevation and chills after landing on the beach.
Sunglasses with strap
Reduces glare off the lake and stays secure in windy conditions.
summer
Small action camera or secured phone
Capture the view—strap it securely or ask the pilot to record to avoid losing it.
