Another interesting place is the National Park Lovcen with the mountain of the same name. From here, during the flight, a magical view of the Boca Kotor River Riviera opens up. This is one of the favorite places of paragliders in Montenegro, perhaps also due to constant air flows: Mount Lovcen is located between cities, on the border of two incompatible climates. The distance from it to Kotor, Cetinje, and Budva are about the same - about 50 km. Also experienced Paragliding Montenegro pilots can recommend places such as Bukvitsa, Mojkovac, and Krnovo.

Even newcomers who do not have serious health problems and weigh less than 120 kg are allowed to fly. On a paraglider, in calm weather, even children can soar under the strict guidance of an instructor. The allowable age is at least 4-5 years old. In case of strong winds, departure is usually prohibited for all.
The cost of the flight with an instructor varies from 65 to 145 euros. The price is influenced by the duration of the flight (15-30 minutes), the place of launch, and the time of year. Experienced pilots simply pay for renting a paraglider. Also here you can rent an action camera for 10-12 euros. This kind of entertainment is considered one of the available: if you compare with prices in Europe, in Montenegro they are lower a lot.
