The Schmittenhöhe in Zell am See, probably the most beautiful flying area in Austria, will inspire you.

Float into the sunrise

Ballooning

Experiencing the sunrise from the air and floating silently over the mountains is something very special.

With us you can have a very special experience with a balloon ride. We fly all year round, summer and winter! There are only a few weeks a year when we are not on the road due to horses in the valley.

Gliding over

Salzburg on the Gaisberg

The Gaisberg is one of the most popular excursion destinations for Salzburg residents – and not without reason. From here, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the city of Salzburg, framed by the impressive mountain landscape all around.

The Hohensalzburg Fortress is a prominent landmark.

Paragliding

Near Saalbach Hinterglemm in Salzburger Land

The "Home of Lässig" is not only known for perfect slopes and mountain biking. Enjoy the region from the air while paragliding! In summer and winter we fly with numerous guests of the Home of Lässig on the Schmittenhöhe because we find even more ideal wind conditions here, which can be reached in just a few minutes from Saalbach Hinterglemm.

Gliding over

Kössen in Tyrol

Every summer, countless paragliding enthusiasts come here because of the good thermals, cable car and infrastructure. Kössen is probably the most well-known flying area in Europe and has developed into a mecca for the scene over the decades. The difference in altitude here is somewhat smaller than on the Schmittenhöhe and therefore somewhat more affordable, but the view of the Kaiser Mountains is unparalleled!

Tandem paragliding in

Bramberg Neukirchen

The Upper Pinzgau also awaits you with great flights from the Wildkogel. Depending on the take-off location, we reach the mountain from Bramberg or Neukirchen. The views of the Hohe Tauern National Park and the Großvenediger from the air will captivate you. From midday onwards we will fly on the Schmittenhöhe because the take-off wind on the Wildkogel no longer allows take-offs.

Gliding over

Ötztal High Ötz

The Hoch Ötz flying area is located at the entrance to the Ötztal valley in the middle of the Tyrolean mountains.

Due to the large difference in altitude of 1350m and the optimal orientation, it has been popular with hang gliders and paragliders for decades.

Tandem flying near

Leogang Fieberbrunn

We prefer paragliding in the nearby Schmittenhöhe flying area. If you want to fly near Leogang, contact us. We will pass your request on to our partners.

The view of the impressive Leoganger Steinberge and the surrounding grassy mountains will fascinate you.

Gliding over

Werfenweng from Bischling

Fly at the foot of the Tennengebirge with a view of the Hochkönig and the surrounding grassy mountains. With the latest flight equipment you can discover freedom in the air!

The view of the impressive mountain backdrop will delight you.

As soon as you arrive at the starting point, we will give you an introduction and a helmet. We will put your harness on securely. Just a few moments later, we will be in the air and enjoying paragliding over Zell am See.
