Paragliding Tirana Dajti

Description
Located in the Tirana region of Albania, this paragliding site offers a launch height of 1025 meters with a height difference ranging from 720 to 900 meters. The site is regularly used and is suitable for soaring and cross-country (XC) flights. However, it is not recommended for beginners due to its medium difficulty launch and generally turbulent flying conditions.
The launch area is small, with space for only one glider at a time, and is surrounded by small rocks and bushes. There are trees at the end of the takeoff area, making it impossible to take off without wind. The quality of the takeoff and landing places is rated 2 out of 5. The site is flyable all year round, with the best thermal hours between 12:00 and 14:00. The maximum take-off hours are from 10:00 to 16:00 (May-September) and from 11:00 to 15:00 (October-April).
The flyable wind direction ranges from NW to SSW, with the best wind direction being W and WSW. The general wind direction is NW and WNW. It is crucial to have fast and precise take-off skills when the wind is from the NW, and it is advised to avoid take-off with NW wind exceeding 2m/s.
Landing is near a cemetery NW of the takeoff, about 13 minutes or 3 kilometers away. The landing field is 200 meters by 50 meters and is located on top of a small hill, which can cause turbulent sensations. The wind direction at the landing site often differs from the takeoff and is usually stronger.
A telecabin is available to reach the launch site. For safety, it is recommended to contact local pilots before flying here. Tandem flights are possible but should only be attempted by very experienced pilots.
