Takeoff

KUK

Kuk is the highest peak of Kolovrat mountain range. Its speciality is that it offers not only the takeoff for southeren winds like other takeoffs, but can be also used when winds are blowing from the north. It is located very close to Slovenian-Italian border and is the highest peak of Kolovrat mountain range.

From the rugged peaks of the Krn mountain amphitheater to the azure expanse of the Adriatic Sea glistening in the distance, the views from Kuk takeoff are nothing short of mesmerizing. It’s a sensation that defies description – a feeling of awe and wonder that words alone cannot capture. In the air we’ll be treated to a mesmerizing aerial perspective of the Soča River as it winds its way from Kobarid to Tolmin below us. On days with good visibility we are aslo able to see Friuli, Veneto, the Julian Alps, the Carnic Alps and the Dolomites. 

Depending on weather conditions, our tandem paragliding adventure concludes with landings either in Ladra or Kobarid.

Kuk mountain and the surrounding Kolovrat region hold significant historical importance, particularly during the First World War. This area witnessed intense battles between Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces, with Kuk serving as a strategic vantage point. Today, visitors can delve into this poignant history at the Museum on Kolovrat, which offers insight into the harsh realities of war and the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides. Through exhibits, artifacts, and interactive displays, the museum honors the memory of those who fought here, providing a solemn reminder of the impact of conflict on this rugged mountain landscape.

For hikers, Kuk presents an inviting challenge with its network of trails that wind through pristine alpine landscapes. These trails cater to a range of skill levels, from leisurely strolls to more demanding ascents, offering hikers the chance to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Kolovrat mountain range. Mountain bikers also flock to Kuk to explore its rugged terrain and adrenaline-pumping trails. The mountain’s varied topography provides an exhilarating playground for bikers of all abilities, with routes that meander through dense forests, traverse rocky slopes, and descend thrillingly down winding paths.

Paragliding for my first time and it was even more of a thrill that I had imagined! Martin was very safety conscious, considerate of my comfort, and professional. The flight was so easy to do, from take off to landing, even this 65 year old Canadian woman managed! Thank you, Martin, for such a wonderful experience in Slovenia

Martin is such a sweetheart 💙 I came to the office and in 20min we were going to the cabin. He is so calm and you really feel safe 😊 Takeoff was easy (thanks to him - not me 😅). He made it from 1600m to almost 2100m! Wonderfull flight. We were in the cloud also! We spend 45min in the air and as a bonus for the end he made some spirals 😜 loved it!! Thanks and will come back! 💙

My husband and I had the chance to go paragliding with Martin and Robert this past week in Bovec! It was one of the most amazing experiences we've had yet. Both Martin and Robert were organized, prepared, kind, and extremely communicative when it came to what we should expect. The views of the valley and surrounding mountains was one to rival. I would absolutely recommend flying with them! You won't regret it!

Meine Schwester und ich hatten einen super tollen Flug mit Martin und Robert. Es war ein Abenteuer und ein sehr aufregendes Erlebnis. Wir haben uns jederzeit sicher und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Es wurde uns alles verständlich erklärt, auch während des Fluges. Jeder der Slowenien mal entspannt von oben sehen will und die grandiose Aussicht genießen möchte, ist bei den beiden genau richtig aufgehoben. Wir würden es jederzeit wieder machen! Danke für die tolle Zeit in der Luft! Carina und Inga

It was mine and my boyfriends first ever time paragliding and Martin and Robert were the perfect people for us to fly with. We felt so comfortable, safe, reassured and had such a wonderful time. I can’t recommend them enough for their friendly and professional service. It was a joy to fly over the mountains and even do some tricks at the end. Thank you thank you! If we visit again we will for sure be back 💕
