Paraglidingbase operates four distinct trips: Early Bird Flight (08:30 Uhr), Thermikflug, Genussflug, and Freestyle-Acrobatic. Each trip is designed to showcase aerial views of the Bavarian foothills and alpine peaks while using tandem flights with a pilot.
The Early Bird Flight departs at 08:30 and emphasizes calm morning air and 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape. Thermikflug focuses on extended airtime over the Alps and the use of thermal lift for a longer flight experience. The Genussflug combines a scenic cable car ride and a short hike before launch, then offers comfortable seating and expansive panoramic views. The Freestyle-Acrobatic option provides tandem acrobatic maneuvers including flips and loops under pilot control for a high-adrenaline experience.
Flights take off from launch sites accessible from Lenggries and fly over the Isartal and nearby alpine terrain. The trips feature panoramic vistas, opportunities for photography, and different intensity levels from relaxed sightseeing to acrobatic flight. Booking information, exact meeting points, weight limits, and weather-dependent scheduling are provided directly by the operator at reservation. Paraglidingbase’s offerings suit first-time flyers seeking scenic flights as well as experienced adrenaline-seekers pursuing acrobatic maneuvers.
