Happy passenger

Unterberg

Kaiserwinkel

The Unterberg or the Unterberghorn is the beginning of our little journey. It is not without reason that this mountain is world-famous among all paragliders. The ideal conditions for beginners but also great thermals for advanced paragliding pilots make this mountain so popular in the paragliding scene.

What offers

Kössen in summer

If you are looking for adventure with a sense of closeness to nature, then Kössen is the right place for you.

The region has numerous hikes to offer, from easy paths to high alpine tours, but also attractive Nordic walking routes.

Here's a little tip from the locals: To get to know the place best, we recommend taking the Kössen village tour, which takes you to beautiful places in the area.

The Kössen region is also popular for cycling, mountain biking or e-biking. Here you will find routes with different levels of difficulty. You should always be fit and have plenty of energy, which is why you should try out all the culinary aspects of the region. It's ideal that a combination of enjoyment and activity is also offered here:

  • Kaiserweis pleasure bike tour – visiting regional dairymen, bakers, distillers, schnapps distillers, bacon and sausage producers
  • Cheese wheel round – on the trail of hay milk cheese

Have you ever bathed in the middle of a forest? No? Then you should definitely cool off in the forest swimming pool. Equipped with slides, waterfalls, water mushrooms and much more, all age groups will have fun there.

The Walchsee in the neighboring town of the same name offers a little more space for swimming. The shimmering blue-green natural lake can be reached from Kössen in just ten minutes by car and from there you can easily combine a visit to the “Schwemm” moor area. This large nature reserve is home to numerous species of dragonflies, frogs and newts.

If you want to cool down with a little adrenaline, we recommend rafting in the Tiroler Ache or canyoning in the gorges of Tyrol.

One of the absolute highlights of the region is a hot air balloon ride: hop in the basket and explore the region from above.

What offers

Kössen in winter

But even in winter it doesn't get boring in Kössen. Away from the slopes, the region has a lot to offer: snowshoe hikes, winter hikes, or a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride in the middle of winter wonderland.

The Hochkössen ski area is particularly popular among families; here you will find the perfect ski slope for everyone with a wide range of difficulty levels.

For those who are looking for more action, there is snow tubing on the Staffenberg near Kössen - fun is guaranteed here!

What is associated with winter and Kaiserwinkel? That's easy: cross-country skiing. Whether classic or skating, everyone gets their return with a wide variety of routes! Eight different routes start in Kössen, which is known for its guaranteed snow.

The flight was absolutely amazing. I am 71 and did a tandem paragliding jump for my 70th birthday last year. The gliding flight topped this experience. There are four competitors for paragliding in Zell am See. I made the right choice with Falken Air and I was lucky enough to fly with Josef and Sepp, to glide and to experience the globe from a different perspective. The experiences in the air are relative or a matter of opinion. The process, support and execution of the tandem paragliding was highly professional and characterized by absolute safety. Many thanks to the entire Falken Air team around Sepp. I recommend that you take everything you can get. You will never forget the looping event. With the great, professional pictures and videos you can share this unique experience with your friends. Thank you again, stay healthy everyone and best wishes from Leipzig Lutz and Ludwig

On June 24th, I (74 years old) fulfilled a dream and completed a fantastic tandem paragliding flight with Falken Air. It was overwhelming for me and will remain unforgettable. The team was super friendly and seemed very competent. Special thanks go to the one and only Christine. "Christine, you are amazing!" Thank you for this indescribably beautiful experience. Best wishes from the Erzgebirge from Karin

It was my first time paragliding and I can say that it was nothing short of amazing! The whole process was really easy from booking to the flight. If any Muslim women in Zellamsee are looking to paragliding, I'd definitely recommend Christina. She was very friendly and clear with instructions, and didn't hesitate to answer any questions I had before and during the flight which made me feel really comfortable. Overall a very pleasant experience, would try it again if I visit Zellamsee again! Thank you Christina and Falken air!

My daughter and I decided at short notice to do a tandem flight. We made an appointment for the next day by phone. The weather was good and we had a great experience with our pilots. The pictures and videos turned out great and are a lovely memory. When we are back in Zell am See we want to do another flight. I can only recommend it. Great crew
