To catch the last days of winter for this year, few weeks ago I flew over the Shar Mountains. As always, it is an excellent experience to enjoy taking off from Ceripashina - one of the highest mountain peaks in Macedonia.
Shar Mountains is a great destination for paragliding and tandem flights in Macedonia. Only an hour-long ride from Skopje and you'll find yourself ready for taking off. The easy accessibility to Shar Mountains enables the paragliding to be practiced throughout the whole year as well as high demand of tandem flights for tourists and adventurers. Usually, the starting point is the peak of Ceripashina, 2.525m, where you get by using cable car from the ski center Popova Shapka. During the flight we raise up to 3000m. and more, and enjoy the extraordinary view of the Polog region of Macedonia.
More info on Shar Mountains:Situated in the north-western part of Republic of Macedonia, this massif extends from northeast through west, continuing to the southwest for 80km with total surface area of 1600km2. Belonging to the group of young mountain chains with its cold winters and pleasant summers, this massif is covered with extraordinary reach flora and fauna. Winds mostly blow from north-west. Shar Mountains have large number of mountain peaks, all higher than 2.500m asl. The highest peak is Titov Vrv - 2.747m. The Eyes of Shar Mountains are the glacial lakes that add additional beauty to the landscape. There are 25 constant lakes and 150 occasional ones. The water potential is huge with its 200 springs of pure water. Imagine what it is like to fly over such beauties during spring, summer and fall.
