Paragliding Tandemflight on Mountain Zwoelferhorn in St. Gilgen

A unique expirience!

Paragliding at the lake district of Salzkammergut is one of the most stunning experience you can get!

After a few steps of running you will glide with an experienced tandem pilot down into the valley. This you will probably never forget!

Duration:

The duration of the experience is about 1,5 hrs. including around 10-25 minutes of airtime, which can be extended in good thermic conditions (please ask your pilot!).

Booking:

Flights will be done daily if the weather conditions allow us to fly. In the mornings you will find the most smooth and steady conditions.

Age limit:

We recommend an age between 6 and 70 years. Nevertheless there is no age limit by law. If you feel fit enough to run during the launch, you can fly. Everyone under 18 years needs a consent form from the parent or legal guardian.

Weight Limit:

35-95 kg (extended limit on request: 20-110kg)

Requirements:

Everyone who is able to run fast a few meters down a slope, can fly tandem. This running is essential for the launch.

Passengers below 45kg should fly in the morning at around 9:00 o`clock. Passengers around 90kg need to choose an appointment between 12:00 and 14:00 o`clock. This regulation is due to safety regarding the valley wind situation.

Our regular weight limit for a passenger is 95 kg. This regulation is due to saftey. If you weight over 95kg, you can send us a request for a flight. If the wind will support us during launch, we can fly with more than 95 kg.

Meeting point:

The meeting point is usually in the valley at the office near the cable car station. You will get the meeting point in the booking confirmation or you can look it up under Book a Tandemflight.

The passenger’s escort / spectator can either watch the take-off or the landing. Both are usually not possible in terms of time. Note that when the passenger and pilot take the cable car up, they don’t stay long on the mountain. If you wish to spend a longer time on the mountain, you should go up earlier and arrange a meeting point at the mountain station by phone or WhatsApp.

Public Transport:

For reaching St. Gilgen you can use the bus no 150 between Salzburg an Bad Ischl. The busstation in St. Gilgen is directly next to our office.

Your necessary equipment to bring to fly tandem will be: solid hiking shoes with a good grip sole and a season- and temperaturematching long-sleeved outfit.

All other gear like helmets, harness and paraglider we will bring with us.
