Launch from the Zwölferhorn summit and glide above Wolfgangsee on a guided tandem paragliding flight. This accessible 90‑minute activity blends a cable‑car ascent, a pilot‑led briefing, and a weather‑dependent valley glide with sweeping alpine views.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The cable car hums and the air thins as you climb toward the Zwölferhorn summit; below, Wolfgangsee gleams like a cut of alpine glass and villages slope down to meet the shore. A tandem pilot checks lines, clips you into a double harness and waits for the wind to align — then the ridge takes you and the valley opens. The sensation is precise: a gentle rise, a quick release, then the landscape unfolds in wide, patient sweeps.

Check the weight limit early
Operators require a body weight between 35–95 kg; confirm your weight at booking to avoid day‑of issues.
Plan for weather delays
Flights are canceled in high wind or low cloud—build a buffer day into your travel plans to avoid disappointment.
Wear sturdy shoes and warm layers
You’ll walk on uneven ground at launch and it’s cooler at summit elevation, so closed shoes and a windproof layer help.
Secure cameras and phones
If you bring a camera, secure it to your person or use a mounted GoPro; loose items are not allowed during launch.
Closed-toe hiking shoes
Provide traction on rocky or grassy launch and landing zones.
Windproof jacket
Keeps you warm at summit elevation and during cooler flights.
