Paragliding from the Llogara Pass: Albania's most scenic flight
You take off from 1,027 metres among the national park pines, fly along the cliff where the Ceraunian Mountains plunge into the Ionian Sea and land on Palasë's white beach. Considered one of the most beautiful tandem flights in the Balkans — at half the Italian price.
Direct booking with local operators: no hidden fees, free cancellation up to 48h before.

The transfer from Vlorë to the Llogara Pass is included (45 minutes of panoramic road, shortened since 2024 by the tunnel). At altitude, a 10-minute briefing, harness, then 3-4 running steps: you're airborne. The pilot handles everything, you watch the Riviera from above like never before.
The best time to fly is morning (stable thermals, perfect light) or late afternoon. If the wind is wrong you wait or reschedule: that's why booking for the first days of your holiday makes sense. On OTAs the same flight costs $117-149 — the direct price is €90-145.

Who it's for (and who it's not)
Anyone between 6 and 80 years, between 25 and 110 kg, without serious heart conditions. If you suffer from vertigo: paragliding doesn't give the void sensation, you're seated in an armchair in the air. Not recommended in pregnancy.
Weather & cancellation
The flight is 100% wind-dependent: the pilot decides the same morning. If you can't fly, you reschedule free or get a full refund. Keep 1-2 days of margin.
Frequently asked questions
Llogara or the take-off above Vlorë?
Llogara for the scenery (mountains + sea together, longer flight), Vlorë/Shashicë for convenience (1.5 hours total, landing on the promenade). If you can, do Llogara: it's the flight you'll talk about.
How long is the flight really?
15-30 minutes depending on thermals. The pilot stays airborne as long as conditions allow.
Can I fly together with my partner?
You fly simultaneously with two pilots, side by side: ask when booking and we'll arrange the pilot pair.
