Acro Paragliding
Aerobatics, tumbling, helicos — the world of acro paragliding at Ölüdeniz and Babadağ.
A World-Class Acro Destination
Ölüdeniz has established itself as one of Europe's most respected acro paragliding venues. The combination of consistent thermals, the calm waters of the Blue Lagoon for safe practice, and the welcoming pilot community draws world-class acro pilots every season.
The Blue Lagoon serves as a natural safety net — pilots practise dynamic manoeuvres low over the sheltered water, with support boats standing by. This makes Ölüdeniz an ideal venue for SIV and acro progression training.
During summer months, spectators on the beach are regularly treated to free air shows as resident acro pilots run through their sequences in the late afternoon calm.
