WHY PARAGLIDE IN SLOVENIA?

Is there anything better for a free flier than organised transport to the starting point and landing back at the campsite with a cold beer waiting for you?!

Campsite Lijak has a perfect position right under the world famous paragliding paradise of Lijak – Nova Gorica, from where you can constantly check weather and flight conditions – at the start, in the air, or on the landing site.
Our main priority and concept is a safe and comfortable flight.
You can find detailed information about all this and other Slovenian flying areas in the “Paragliding & Hang Gliding Guide Book” by Matevž Gradišek (www.bigopensky.com).

There is also a description of Lijak in the paragliding guide:

“Best Flying Site in the Alps” by Oliver Guenay.

This book is available at our reception.
We wish you many beautiful and safe flights above the Vipava Valley!
