Tandem paragliding is not physically demanding and is suitable for most people - all ages, as well as passengers with physical and/or mental disabilities, are welcome. Please specify any relevant physical or mental conditions when booking and we will do our best to accommodate you.
You will meet your pilot directly at the ticket counter of the Elferlifte cable car. There are no specific company signs, so please wait patiently to meet your pilot there. Together you will go up by the gondola and walk a few steps to the launch site. Your pilot will give you a briefing on the launch procedure and set up the paraglider, then you're ready to go! The launch is very simple, after a few steps you will be floating through the air with your pilot behind you controlling the course of the flight. During the flight you will be treated to spectacular views of the Stubaital valley from your comfortable seat in the sky. If you're keen for a shot of adrenaline, your pilot can also perform acrobatics! Throughout the flight your pilot will take lots of high quality photos and videos. These are available to purchase after the flight for an extra charge of €30 and they can be loaded directly onto your mobile phone.
A normal flight takes 10-20 minutes depending on the conditions of the day. If a normal flight is not enough for you, we also offer the possibility of a thermal flight for an extra charge of €45 - this is a long flight of 30-45 minutes, and is only possible under suitable conditions. If you're interested in this option, make sure to specify this in your booking request.
The landing is very simple - we can land on our feet, which feels like jumping from a small chair, or if you have issues with ankles, knees etc then we can land on the comfortable airbags underneath our seats. Landing is usually just a few minutes walk from the gondola carpark and you can still feel the pleasant tingling sensation in your body for the rest of the day that you take home from the flight.
SUMMER SPECIAL: On Monday evenings during summer the Elferlifte is open late, allowing us to offer sunset flights! These are the same price as our classic flights and include a local beer served on landing - the perfect way to finish your day.
