- Arriving in a new country (Türkiye) it can be daunting so I decided with the bad weather and cloudy days. I would make a quick video for paraglider pilots, so they know some information before arriving.

All up to date prices for Cable car - Teleferik can be found in below. link

Price of Teleferik (cable car) ticket may vary but when I went up the lady said 310 Try Turkish Lira.
The bus is only 15 try (Turkish Lira) from Oludeniz bus station to Teleferik Station.
If you take a taxi expect much higher prices. 60-80 Try (Turkish Lira)
Cable car takes 29 mins to 1700 metres. During the busier times of the year (Summer) you dont need to change cable cars at 1200 and can stay in cable car to the 1700 metres. But during off season when you get to 1200 metres you need to exit that cable car and join at the next one.

Note: If you talk with the many tandem operations in the main street, you can hitch a ride with them in their vans they charge 100 Try (Turkish Lira) they will then stop for you at the Teleferic and you can run out grab your launch tickets show QR code and then get back to the bus and they will drive up the back side of mountain, this takes roughly the same time as the cable car but they will drop you off at the site that is active for that time. If doing this remember that they are a tandem business and you should limit any issues with them, get to the bus before passengers and load your gear on bottom and then when on top on launch you will be last off the bus. If you work around these guys, they will help you spread your wing on launch because you are showing respect. After a few days people start to know your face and it gets easier because they then know you are a pilot who is switched on.
Landing: What I also found upon landing is not to call out to the tourists this gets them scared like a rabbit in the headlights and they can run all sorts of directions, I normally just land behind them and not warn them but prearrange my heading so not to hit them from behind. Once you Yell out they can cause serious issues for you, Try it.
That's exactly how it is folks! I hope new pilots to the area see this as very useful and good information for this top 5 flying hot spot! Cheers Brad 🌤⛱👌
Verry good, complete information !! Thank you for the effort.
Have safe flights 🙂
Reminder : If you check your pass onto a launch and decide to go to another one, ask the staff to check you off or your ticket may bounce at the new launch. They are very helpful. At the end of your flight, on the website, register that you have landed or you will not be able to register for your next flight! Do this before you go to bed or onto the Town!!! 🙂
Thank you
I'm definetly old pilot :(. In my days there was trucks, wich carry about 30-40 pilots from beach to top of Babadag. Road uphill was realy scary :D . And up there was only one old woman, selling tasty "Rize ćay". BTW cheaper, then same on the beach....

Thanks, very helpful!
This is such a great informative video, thanks for sharing! I am heading that way mid October. Would you happen to know what are the insurance coverage requirements for visiting pilots? Thanks in advance!
When you say insurance requirements i had my own travel insurance that included paragliding I would hate to have an injury in travelling and not be insured.
Get paragliding insurance
Not sure what Oludeniz needed but I don’t remember anyone asking me
@@AviationSports1978 Thank you sir!
Hi
مشد جميل❤❤❤
This is a great video, thanks!
Are there months in the year when it's great flying but not so crowded?
Hey, Glad you liked it. Pretty much it is very busy with tandems in the summer months so i think next time i will head over in may.
@@AviationSports1978 Awesome, so it's all about avoiding the summer months and school holidays, right? I would live to stay on the butterfly beach, but I saw one video and there are so many people there. I wish there are moments to have the beach pretty much all for yourself.
@@quirinius I launched in this video and landed down there, you can camp there and have it all to yourself early in morning and late at night. I will maybe go back next May ua-cam.com/video/vhG-WK0HhwY/v-deo.html
watch that video of my butterfly landing
May (except the week of May 19th, national holiday most of the student clubs will be coming to perform their SIV trainings and also lots of tourists) and September. For June, July, August... its always nightmare
3:22 you went through the security? Never did it! :)
Rookie move on my behalf i did it once then after that just walked around the detectors
Please, let me know how to proceed for a not professionnal tandem flight ?
Do I need to register the tandem passenger as well ?
When you arrive go to the local tandem shops they will explain the process
The road to the mountain must be in the list with the worst roads in the world.
Its been fixed up a heap i didnt find it a problem and have been on worse.
@@AviationSports1978 when it was fixed, last weekend? I was last Thursday and I found it narrow, with no side protections, or rock falling protection and no asphalt. Maybe you used the teleferic 😂. This has to be one of the worst roads I have ever seen. I am not even bother mentioning lights, border lines, signs etc
@@politicallyincorrect2564 I didn't find it too bad, different strokes for different folks. Hate to see you in Pakistan. Used the Teleferic a hand full of times but mainly used the companies and their tour buses to get to the launch that was active for the day.
