About this activity

What makes this experience special is the personal approach and premium quality. This is not a mass-tourism operation with rushed departures – we take time for every single guest.

From the moment you arrive at the summit, your pilot focuses on making you feel safe, relaxed and fully prepared. Questions are welcome, and nothing feels hurried.

During the flight, the experience is continuously adapted to you. Whether you prefer a calm scenic glide or a more dynamic, adrenaline-filled adventure, the flight style can be adjusted at any time.

Gentle takeoff from a flat meadow and comfortable seated landing add to the smooth overall experience.

With years of professional flying experience and thousands of successful tandem flights, safety and trust are the foundation of every takeoff.

Our goal is to combine professionalism, safety and genuine human connection – creating an experience that feels personal, not anonymous.

Itinerary

Experience tandem paragliding above Salzburg from Gaisberg Mountain, one of the region’s most scenic launch sites overlooking the city and the Alps. We meet at the summit of Gaisberg, where your certified pilot provides a detailed safety briefing and explains every step of the flight until you feel completely comfortable. No previous experience is required. With a few easy steps from a flat meadow, we gently lift off and you relax back into your secure, comfortable harness. After the first moments in the air, you begin to relax and smoothly glide higher above the landscape. During the flight, enjoy panoramic views of Salzburg’s historic old town with the Fortress Hohensalzburg, the surrounding alpine peaks and nearby lakes. You can switch anytime between a calm scenic glide, dynamic turns or a more adrenaline-filled experience, depending on how you feel in the air. Landing is smooth and easy on a wide meadow, and you remain comfortably seated in your harness – no running required. The total experience takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours including meeting, preparation, flight and landing. Optional photo & video packages and extended thermal flights are available as upgrades.
