Aragats
T/O 500 m vertical
This flying site is in the foothills of Mt. Aragats, the
highest mountain in Armenia to the NorthWest of Yerevan.
The winds can be high but the site has good thermal potential
and provides great views of Mt. Aragats. Hiking to a small
rocky T/O takes about 2-3 hours.
Vardablur
T/O 200 m vertical
Near the town of Aperan, to the North of Yerevan, the village
of Vardablur provides a nice flying site. The mountain is
surrounded by huge agricultural fields, allowing flight
in any wind direction and endless landing zones. An ancient
pagan cemetery nearby is a worthwhile diversion from the
trip home.
