We start

The take-off procedure begins with an expert briefing from your pilot and careful adjustment of the harness.

As soon as everything is in place, you’re ready to go: with a few determined steps, the glider picks up speed – and you gently lift off the ground. The moment of take-off is short but no less impressive.

We fly

At 1,909 metres above sea level at the summit of the Gerlitzen, we set off together on a unique adventure with breathtaking views. Lake Ossiach glistens below us, the famous Lake Wörthersee sparkles in the distance and the tranquil Lake Faakersee lies embedded in the landscape like a mirror. The imposing Karawanken and the majestic Julian Alps frame the panorama like a painting.

During the flight, we glide freely through the air and enjoy the view to the full.

1,408 metres in altitude between take-off and landing site, approx. 20-30 minutes of intense nature adventure, a pure feeling of freedom and the unforgettable experience of being one with the sky.

With a bit of luck, we might even glide together with the marvellous birds of prey of the Landskron castle ruins.

Ideal for all those who want to experience flying up close and discover Carinthia from a bird’s eye view!

We land

The glider glides gently towards the ground and the landing site slowly approaches. We float along almost weightlessly and control the landing approach with the glider until our feet finally touch the ground. We catch the movement with two or three light steps – and then stand safely and firmly on the ground again. The successful conclusion to a special moment that you are sure to remember for a long time.

We look forward to welcoming you in the air soon for an unforgettable flying experience!

The minimum is 20 kg and the maximum 120 kg.

Paragliding is an outdoor sport. This means that we are dependent on the external conditions. We calculate a pure flight time of 20 – 30 minutes. Depending on thermals and weather conditions, 30 – 40 minutes are also possible. The total time, including preparations up to landing, should be around 2 hours.

There is no minimum age for us and also legally speaking. Young people under the age of 18 only need the signature of a parent or guardian. The main thing is that they have fun!!!

It’s not your date of birth that counts on a tandem flight, but your mobility! As long as you are able to take a few brisk steps, we can take off together without any problems. Even our oldest senior guests to date (85 years old) were thrilled!

You don’t have to be a competitive athlete – a normal physical condition is completely sufficient. The only important thing is that you can run a few quick steps at the start. If you have any health restrictions, please talk to your pilot before you jump – safety always comes first.

Yes, the glasses even protect you from the wind. Sunglasses may also be useful. Contact lenses are not a problem either.

Today, paragliding is regarded as a very safe leisure activity – especially tandem flights with experienced pilots and high-quality equipment. Possible dangers can be reduced to a minimum through prudent behaviour, especially during take-off and landing.

In fact, many passengers with a fear of heights report that they feel no discomfort whatsoever when paragliding. The reason: as soon as you take off, there is no direct connection to the ground – and therefore also the typical “feeling of height”. Instead of fear, the amazement at the view and the feeling of being as free as a bird quickly takes over.
