Over the last ten years the XC hotspot of Krusevo has firmly cemented its place as one of the best summer thermalling and XC destinations, with pilots visiting from all over the world. A testament of how great it is for XC flying is the amount of top class XC competitions that have been held there over the last few seasons.
The arrangements we have made with an excellent, trusted local contact can not be faulted. We have a dedicated van and driver for transport and retrieves, which means Alex and I are able to fly with our pilots every step of the way and we can easily form a gaggle and take ourselves off for beautiful tours around the valley.
Krusevo has a good combination of mountain ridge and flat land flying, which allows us to practice both skills. As usual all flights will be backed up with full pre and post flight briefings with analysis to help improve your understanding of the black art of XC flying.
The trip is suitable for those with XC experience, by that we do not mean you have to be a thermalling rock star but you should be comfortable in thermic air.
At Free Flight Academy we pride ourselves on always offering good quality clean accommodation and in Krucevo it is no exception. Villa Gora is a small, friendly hotel with a great location. Our trip price is based on two sharing, however there are a limited number of single rooms available. If you are interested in a single room please let us know. They will be allocated on a first come first serve basis at an additional cost of £120 per week.

Flights
Airport: The pick up and drop offs will be from Skopje airport (SKP), the pick up time will be 18:00 on the Saturday and drop off is 14:00. There are no direct flights to Skopje from the UK on the required dates, however we believe these times offer decent 1 stop flight options from both Manchester and London Heathrow (possibly other airports too so please check the one closest to you). If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
