Scenic Valley Flight in Innsbruck with THE FLYING SOFA | Air Activities | Sightseeing Tour

Situated at Fürstenweg 180, just a stone's throw from Innsbruck international airport, THE FLYING SOFA offers an exhilarating aerial adventure that redefines how you experience the Austrian Alps. Their signature Scenic Valley Flight invites travelers to pilot a legendary SF 25 B motorglider on a journey over the dramatic landscapes of the Karwendel and Inn Valleys. These valleys, framed by jagged limestone peaks and deep river gorges, reveal a side of Tirol often missed by hikers and drivers alike.

Flying out of Innsbruck, the gateway to the Alps, the motorglider covers a 30km radius that includes pristine mountain ridges, lush alpine meadows, and the winding Inn River carving through the valley floor below. The Karwendel massif, a crown jewel of Tirol, boasts towering cliffs and dense forests rich with native flora like alpine edelweiss and golden stonecrop and fauna such as chamois and marmots — all best appreciated from above in quiet flight. The motorglider’s nimble, nearly silent glide allows for unparalleled views and a close-to-nature feel uncommon in powered flight.

What sets this experience apart is its year-round availability; whether winter paints the peaks with snow or summer opens up sweeping green vistas, THE FLYING SOFA adapts to showcase each season’s distinct character. Their small-group, single-occupant flights ensure personal attention, safety, and flexibility.

For visitors drawn to Tirol's alpine outdoors but ready to swap hiking boots for a pilot’s seat, THE FLYING SOFA offers a unique vantage point to grasp the scale and beauty of one of Europe’s most scenic mountain regions. It's a standout addition to Innsbruck’s rich outdoor recreation scene and an adventure that challenges conventional sightseeing.

Whether seeking a fresh perspective on the rugged high country or a quiet moment soaring above it, this motorglider flight delivers an unforgettable dose of alpine thrill and tranquility.
