Güme Dağı Yamaç Paraşütü Kalkış Alanı

About Güme Dağı Yamaç Paraşütü Kalkış Alanı

The summit of Güme Dağı above Tire is the launch point for paragliding in the district. A local news report on the Tire Paragliding Festival describes the take-off at about 1,050 metres, from where pilots glide down to a landing field on Selçuk Caddesi in Turan Mahallesi, roughly one kilometre along the Tire to Selçuk road out of town. The landing field doubles as the easiest place for spectators to watch. Tire Municipality has made the site the home of an annual paragliding festival: the second Tire Paragliding Festival took place on 5 and 6 September 2026, bringing pilots from across Türkiye, and the mayor himself made a tandem flight from the summit. Tire has also hosted a target event of the Turkish paragliding championship. Outside festival days, tandem operators based in İzmir include Tire among their flying sites and pick the take-off on the day according to the wind and weather, so this is a place to fly with a licensed pilot rather than to visit on your own. Good to know: - No experience is needed for a tandem flight, but flights depend on the weather. - Watch announcements from Tire Municipality for festival dates.
