Making an appointment
Select your desired date and time directly in the booking process. If you want to remain flexible, you can also purchase a voucher and redeem it at any time.
Whether this deadline can be met depends on the weather. It is not possible to take off from every mountain in every wind direction or wind force. If a flight is not possible due to the weather, we will contact you promptly by telephone and you will be given an alternative date.
Our flight times are generally from the beginning of May to the end of October and are based on the opening times of the cable car. Early birds receive a price reduction. If you are unsure about the flight time or date, you are welcome to call us at any time.
Arrival
Depending on your choice of flying area, we will meet one hour before the start of the flight at the respective landing site, take-off site or mountain lift so that we can reach the summit comfortably.
The meeting point depends on the flying area:
> For the Gerlitze it is the landing site opposite the Billa in Annenheim.
> For the Radsberg it is the starting point at the parking lot at the Mickl snack station
The start
Your adventure begins.
Once you arrive at the take-off site, your pilot will discuss with you how to take off, fly and land and answer all your questions.
The pilot then deploys the glider and adjusts your harness and helmet.
Then he attaches himself and then you to the glider.
After the discussed take-off command, the take-off run takes place until the actual take-off.
After just a few steps, you will experience the indescribable feeling of flying!
Your packing list:
> sturdy shoes
> long pants & jacket (as for hiking)
> Kärnten Card (if available)
> Sunglasses
When choosing your jacket, bear in mind that it is much cooler on the mountain and that you may have to wait at the starting point due to the wind conditions!
The flight
After you have made yourself comfortable in the harness, Carinthia’s beautiful mountain and lake landscape opens up before you.
Many people find part of the flight to be an almost surreal, tranquil experience.
If you wish, your pilot will now try to gain height in an updraft (thermal) in order to reach the summit above the launch site.
You can also try out steep spirals with high acceleration forces and various aerobatic maneuvers, for example.
Every pilot carries a sports camera (GoPro).
This is used to take unique photos and videos of your flight.
If you fly from the Gerlitzen, you will fly over Lake Ossiach with a view of Lake Wörthersee and Lake Faaker over Landskron Castle towards the landing site.
The landing
After circling over the landing area to lose enough altitude, the pilot steers the paraglider towards the landing area and after a few steps you touch down gently on our large landing area.
You will experience a great feeling of euphoria – a reason that makes our pilots rush to the starting area again and again, even after many years.
You can now watch your video in peace in the shade under our large tent and review your flight.
You’re back on earth and maybe you’re already looking forward to your next flight with Tandem-Air.
