After half an hour driving to the summit
of Babadağ, you can have an opportunity to fly single or
tandem, do paragliding and land softly on Belcekız Beach.
Babadağ and Belcekız is becoming a centre for
paragliders .
Good wind conditions, thermals reaching up to 4000
meters ASL, fantastic views and proximity to the sea,
make Oludeniz one of the safest scenic places to fly in
the world.
Every year many paragliding schools bring their students
to Oludeniz. The students get the possiblity to fly
several times a day, staying in the air for over an hour,
doing SIV courses and XC flights.
There are several commercial tandem companies, whose
pilots fly those who want to experience life on the wing,
and view the world from a different angle There are two
main take-offs, one at 1900 meters, and the other at
1700 meters. These are reached by a 4-wheel 27 km drive
up through the cedar forests. When the road is closed by
snow during winter months, a take off over the sea at
800 meters is used.
