Krushevo is a small town located in the western part of North Macedonia. It is situated at an altitude of 4,429 feet above sea level, making it one of the highest towns in the Balkans.
Krushevo is known for its rich history and cultural heritage. It was the site of the famous Ilinden Uprising in 1903, which was an attempt to establish an independent Macedonian state. Today, Krushevo is a popular tourist destination due to its picturesque location, traditional architecture, and most of all, paragliding.
Krushevo is surrounded by beautiful mountain ranges. These mountains provide excellent opportunities for cross-country routes south to the Greek border, east across the flats to the Treskavec monastery above the town of of Prilep. Or start with a northbound leg and try your hand at a 100km FAI triangle.
Krushevo is a paragliding venue with something for all levels of pilots.
The 21st of July and 1st of August are used as travel days. You'll need to arrive to Skopje by 4pm the afternoon of the 21st. Book your departure flight on the 1st of August. We recommend arriving as early as you can to deal with any delayed luggage.

Our accommodation has freshly prepared and varied food served daily for breakfast and dinner along with water, juices, coffee and other beverages.
We will be traveling to multiple sites throughout the tour. Visiting Lake Ohrid and some flying sites in Greece. We base the tour out of Krushevo, but are flexible in our planning.
