See Rila from an open cockpit where nothing stands between you and the mountains. Depart from Sapareva Banya Airfield in an AutoGyro MTO-Sport and enjoy sweeping 360° views as you fly tandem with a licensed instructor—and even try basic controls under supervision.

What to expect
After a short pre-flight briefing, you’ll head toward the Seven Rila Lakes. The tandem layout and open cockpit deliver exceptional visibility in every direction, unlike most other aircraft.

Why a gyrocopter?
Gyrocopters combine stability and agility with a simple, reliable design and constant autorotation. The result is a smooth, intuitive flight and close, unobstructed scenery.

Sights along the route
In clear conditions you may spot iconic Rila landmarks:

• The Seven Rila Lakes amphitheatre;
• Goritsa and Skakavitsa waterfalls;
• Otvorshki and Zeleni ridges;
• The Rila Lakes chairlift and ski run;
• Panichishte and the Kalin Dam;
• Mt. Malyovitsa and the high plateau where followers of Peter Deunov perform Paneurhythmy.

First piloting steps
