Why Krusevo?
Krusevo is one of the best and most reliable places on the
planet where you can improve your paragliding skills.
There are many reasons why we believe Krusevo is the most
suitable place for paragliding. Many good pilots from around the world also
agree and support us in that standing.
In the past years, Krusevo was the host for World Cups,
European Championship, national competitions for various countries. The World
Championship in 2019 will also take place in Krusevo. All competitions were
successfully completed, with maximum flying days.
What makes Krusevo the best is the reliable weather
conditions, with almost no strong winds.
Predictable weather.
Safe take offs and safe landings, no matter where you land.
Safe for flying.
The immense valley will give you the privilege of flatland
flying, surrounded with amazing mountains where we can enjoy doing our tasks.
Easy for pick up, due to the high number of villages in the
valley and accessible road to each of them.
Cheap beer, no matter where you land.
Which airport should I fly to?
We usually recommend Skopje International Airport as the easiest option, but transfers can also be arranged from Ohrid or even Thessaloniki (Greece) if needed. Just let us know your travel plan in advance.
Are there activities apart from paragliding?
Yes – plenty! The Krushevo region and Pelagonija Valley offer a variety of things to do: scenic hiking trails, mountain biking, horse riding, adventure parks, SUP paddling on nearby lakes, and beautiful old villages waiting to be explored. You can also enjoy traditional restaurants, wine tastings, and relaxed evenings in cozy cafés and bars.
Can non-flying friends or family join?
Absolutely. We’ll be glad to arrange an airport transfer for them as well. Our accommodation provides a calm and comfortable atmosphere with terraces perfect for relaxing, reading, or just enjoying the mountain views.
Please note that priority in transport goes to pilots, but if there’s extra space in the shuttle, we’re happy to take non-flying companions along. An additional accommodation fee applies for partners or children (depending on age).
Tandem flight
What is a tandem paragliding flight?
A tandem paragliding flight allows you to experience the thrill of flying without any previous experience. You will be securely harnessed together with a professional, licensed instructor who controls the entire flight. Your only task is to relax, enjoy the breathtaking views, and maybe take some photos.
Is tandem paragliding safe?
Yes, tandem paragliding is very safe when done with certified instructors and proper equipment. At Helix Air Sport Club, all flights are conducted by experienced pilots such as our lead instructor, Igor Todevski, using regularly inspected gear. Weather conditions are carefully checked before every flight to ensure maximum safety.
Do I need any prior experience or training?
No previous experience or training is needed. The instructor will explain everything before takeoff and handle the entire flight, so you can just sit back and enjoy the ride.
What do I need to bring or wear for the flight?
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes (sports or hiking shoes are ideal). Sunglasses and sunscreen are also a good idea. All flying equipment (harness, helmet, glider) is provided by Helix Air Sport Club.
Are there any weight or age limits?
Most tandem flights are suitable for passengers aged 6 to 80, depending on health and mobility. The general weight limit is usually between 30 kg (66 lbs) and 120 kg (264 lbs). If you are unsure, feel free to contact us in advance.
How long does a tandem flight last and what is included?
The actual flight time depends on weather conditions and the chosen package, usually lasting between 15 and 30 minutes. The total experience (including briefing, transport, takeoff, and landing) takes about 1 to 2 hours. Photos and videos are often available as an optional extra.
