XC camp

Sky Summits cross-country week in Kruševo 2027

Organizer: Sky Summits ↗

This seven-day stay in Kruševo combines guided cross-country flying with coaching for pilots who want to progress in thermals and on XC. Each day starts with a site and weather briefing; the group is then set a task, launches together and flies as a team with radio guidance. Pilots working through the BHPA pilot development pathway can complete tasks towards their Pilot rating during the week, while more experienced pilots can head out on longer flights across the Pelagonia plain towards the Greek border. The main launches are the East (1420 m) and West (1440 m) take-offs above the town; weather permitting, the group also flies at Ohrid, Galičica, the Treskavec monastery and Ribnik. Twin-share accommodation in a villa in Kruševo with breakfast, in-air guidance, daily transport up the mountain and a full retrieve service are included. Airport pick-ups from Skopje or Thessaloniki are arranged, with the cost shared by the pilots in each taxi. You need your own equipment including a vario/GPS, and insurance covering medical treatment, repatriation and helicopter rescue.
