Babadağ

This guide to Babadağ traces how a mountain rising close to two thousand meters straight from the Aegean near Fethiye became one of the world's top paragliding launches, from the first tandem flights off this ridge in 1992 to the geology behind its unusually strong, steady sea-cliff thermals. It follows the shift from a bruising jeep track to the cable car that opened in 2021, lifting riders in stages toward the summit launch points. Stand at the upper platform and watch the ridge those first pilots eyed nervously back in the early nineties.
