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.
