Launch from Zwölferhorn and glide over Wolfgangsee for a 15–20 minute tandem flight that frames the Salzkammergut’s cliffs, islands and crystal waters. This private experience pairs local pilot expertise with year‑round scheduling when weather allows.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A damp alpine breeze lifts at the Zwölferhorn ridge and, for a moment, the world below simplifies to blue water and edged forests. You step into the harness with your pilot, feel the canopy catch the wind, and the shoreline of Wolfgangsee falls away — islands, the pale sweep of Falkensteinwand and the patchwork roofs of St. Gilgen shrink into a map.
