Dora

Name: Dora paragliding site
Address: CY

SW to NW facing ridge site · 687 m takeoff · 199 m height gain

Overview

Dora is a mountain site in Cyprus with a recorded launch elevation of 687 m. It is recorded as workable in south-westerly, westerly and north-westerly winds. Pilots fly it for ridge soaring and thermal, using foot launch.

This is a good thermal soaring site in light winds and is soarable when the winds increase. In the latter case thermals may make the air rather turbulent without providing much height gain. Source: ParaglidingEarth
