Activity description
Take off from Mount Griessenkareck at an altitude of 1991 meters for an incredible flight in the middle of the mountains!
Go and breathe in the fresh air in unbelievable snow-covered nature south of Salzburg. Get a chance to fly in breathtaking landscapes with professional instructors.
Paragliding in the winter is possible when you know the right spots to take off! You'll glide from the slopes and into the air for a magical experience!
Program:
You'll meet with your instructor at the take-off spot of Griessenkareck.
You'll have a little time to get to know your pilot a bit and ask all the questions you may have on your flight.
You'll need to fill in a flight ticket with risk instructions and the flying terms and conditions prior to the flight so that you have full insurance coverage.
Your instructor will brief you on the flight and security procedures.
And... It's flying time!! Usually, you just need to let yourself glide down the slope to gain speed and take off the ground (with skis or not).
From the moment you're in the air, you can just sit back and relax while enjoying the view.
If you are willing to try, your instructor can do special turns and stunts that expose you to centrifugal forces! Adrenaline rush guaranteed.
As the passenger, landing is a piece of cake - you only need to stretch your legs, and that's it!
Experience tandem flying together with your friends. Up to 4 people can book at the same time. You will start either all together or in two rounds one after the other. In the air, you are of course alone with your tandem pilot.

Wind and weather are important factors in paragliding, which is difficult to predict, especially in the Alps. As a result, we decide whether the flight can take place the day before. In the event of inclement weather, we will contact you and attempt to reschedule the appointment for a better time/day. To use this special service, we kindly ask that you be available at the cell phone number or e-mail address you provided during the booking process. You are also welcome to check the weather forecast with us ahead of time, especially if you have a longer journey.
Please don't rely too heavily on weather apps, they can provide an overview, but in our experience, they are frequently incorrect.
