SPORT D'ARIA

An Alpine sports aerodrome for light aircraft and gliders, together with dedicated launch sites for paragliders, ultralites and model aircraft, provide new adventures and expand one’s horizons of Slovenia's Alps. Take off from the highest peaks, fly alone or in tandem over the alpine valleys, learn to fly, or clock up some hours as a qualification for further adventures in the air!

Sports flying, gliding, paragliding, acrobatic flying, and even piloting model aircraft – everything is at your disposal at the Alpine sports aerodrome at Lesce, not far from both Radovljica and Bled. You may land here with your own light aircraft, try gliding, rent a plane or take an air-taxi on a panoramic flight; you can even learn to parachute here. The aerodrome also has a collection of vintage aircraft on display.
