Activity description

Take off from Mount Bischling at an altitude of 1834 metres for an incredible flight in the middle of the mountains!

Werfenweng is located about 30 to 45 minutes drive from Salzburg. The impressive mountain scenery when flying from the Bischling, at the foot of the Tennengebirge (a mountain range south of Salzburg), guarantees an unforgettable adventure! Go and enjoy the fresh air and the unbelievable nature in the area of Werfenweng. Don't miss the chance to fly in breathtaking landscapes with professional instructors.

What you'll see exactly, you may ask? The Hochkönig, the Dachstein and the Tennengebirge for example! The beautiful nature of Austria at its finest!

Program:
You'll meet with your instructor at the office on the terrace of the Barbarahof.
It's a chance for you 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!! With only a few steps running (do run with your instructor, don't let him do all the work), you'll feel yourself take off the ground!
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!

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.
