Solo-pilot site note

Durmitor / Savin Kuk is a high-mountain site note where access and weather come first.

Preserved pilot-facing context; cable-car operation, winter closure, N / NE / SE wind, landing choice, pilot level, and local briefing still decide whether it can become a practical plan.

Short answer: Durmitor / Savin Kuk upper start is a high-mountain flying reference near the Savin Kuk II cable-car turn station, with elevation around 2244 m, GPS 43.1195, 19.083, and N / NE / SE wind references. Cable-car operation, winter closure, mountain weather, and landing options are current checks before any same-day plan.

Why this is a useful start

Why this helps

This note preserves Durmitor as a technical mountain reference, not as a standing recommendation to fly it.

The preserved data includes launch location, elevation, GPS, wind, landing references, and cable-car caution.

The note keeps mountain-weather, cable-car, seasonal-access, and landing-choice limitations visible.

Operational caution

Cable-car operation, winter closure of the upper section, mountain weather, and landing choice are current local and lift status questions.

This note preserves site parameters; it does not confirm cable-car operation, road or lift access, landing availability, wind suitability, or whether the day is appropriate for a given pilot.

How to use this note

Treat this as high-mountain pilot context, not as a public tandem route page or a same-day flying promise. Savin Kuk can matter because altitude, cable-car access, mountain weather, and landing choices all shape the decision early. Those same factors mean the useful next step is current local briefing and lift status checking, not a casual mountain attempt.

Quick answers

What makes Durmitor different from coastal sites?

It is a high-mountain site note where cable-car access, mountain weather, and landing choice matter early.

What wind directions are preserved?

N / NE / SE.

Is cable-car access guaranteed?

No. Cable-car operation is a current and seasonal check.

Does this note authorize flying Savin Kuk?

No. It preserves technical reference points so a pilot can ask better local questions; it does not replace current briefing, weather judgment, cable-car status checks, landing confirmation, or pilot responsibility.
