What makes this experience special is the personal approach and premium quality. This is not a mass-tourism operation with rushed departures – we take time for every single guest.
From the moment you arrive at the summit, your pilot focuses on making you feel safe, relaxed and fully prepared. Questions are welcome, and nothing feels hurried.
During the flight, the experience is continuously adapted to you. Whether you prefer a calm scenic glide or a more dynamic, adrenaline-filled adventure, the flight style can be adjusted at any time.
Gentle takeoff from a flat meadow and comfortable seated landing add to the smooth overall experience.
With years of professional flying experience and thousands of successful tandem flights, safety and trust are the foundation of every takeoff.

What To Expect
Experience tandem paragliding above Salzburg from Gaisberg Mountain, one of the region’s most scenic launch sites overlooking the city and the Alps. We meet at the summit of Gaisberg, where your certified pilot provides a detailed safety briefing and explains every step of the flight until you feel completely comfortable. No previous experience is required. With a few easy steps from a flat meadow, we gently lift off and you relax back into your secure, comfortable harness. After the first moments in the air, you begin to relax and smoothly glide higher above the landscape. During the flight, enjoy panoramic views of Salzburg’s historic old town with the Fortress Hohensalzburg, the surrounding alpine peaks and nearby lakes. You can switch anytime between a calm scenic glide, dynamic turns or a more adrenaline-filled experience, depending on how you feel in the air. Landing is smooth and easy on a wide meadow, and you remain comfortably seated in your harness – no running required. The total experience takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours including meeting, preparation, flight and landing. Optional photo & video packages and extended thermal flights are available as upgrades.

5.00Mani gave my 14-year-old an incredible first paragliding experience! He was calm, funny, kind, competent, and informative. My son was nervous at first, but Mani put him at ease. The experience was spectacular, start to finish!
Take the Leap — You Won’t Regret It!

5.00I honestly had the most incredible time — one of those experiences you’ll be talking about for years! I lucked out with a gorgeous day, and everything about it just exceeded every expectation I had. I was so fortunate to take flight with Mani and Timmy, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for better people to share the experience with. Now, the meeting point is at the top of a mountain — but don’t let that put you off for even a second! The views up there are absolutely phenomenal on their own, and there’s a convenient bus service that takes you right up, so it’s easier than it sounds. Trust me, the moment you arrive and take in those views, you’ll already know you made the right call. Once you’re up in the air, it’s a whole different world. All your stress, worries, and to-do lists just melt away — it’s pure freedom. I loved every single second of it so much that I ended up adding extra time, because why would you ever want to come back down? If you’re lucky enough to fly with Mani, you are in the absolute best hands. He has this wonderful way of making the whole experience even more special and memorable. A huge shoutout to him for being so amazing! Oh, and do yourself a favour — grab the GoPro footage. It is not a decision you will ever regret. Having those memories to relive is just the cherry on top of an already perfect day. A solid 20 out of 10 ! 🙌
Unforgettable paragliding experience in Salzburg with amazing views and fantastic pilots

5.00My booking was super easy from the beginning, and what I really appreciated was how proactive the team was even before the flight. The pilots contacted me early, answered my questions, and really made an effort to make me feel comfortable before I even arrived. When I got to the mountain, I met Timmy and Manni, two very friendly and easy-going young pilots. They explained everything really well, how paragliding works, what the take-off would be like, and what to expect during the flight. They also told me a bit about the mountain, the area around us, and Salzburg, which made the whole experience even more interesting. The way they introduced me to the sport was so calm and reassuring that any nervousness I had was gone very quickly. The flight itself was honestly amazing. It was such a beautiful experience, and the weather that day was so clear that we could see incredibly far. One of my personal highlights was that Timmy even did the lake tour with me and showed me all the lakes in the surrounding area from above. Seeing everything from that perspective was unforgettable. The landing was also incredibly gentle. I did not even have to run myself, which made it feel even more comfortable. I was so happy that I decided to do it, and I would genuinely recommend this to anyone visiting Salzburg. It is such a special flying experience and definitely something you should try at least once.
Childhood dream

5.00Yesterday, a childhood dream came true. I was allowed to see my hometown from above and the feeling of flying is really indescribable. 🙌🏼 Timmy explained every step clearly and brought in just the right lightness with his humor. You can tell he knows what he's doing and you can feel it. I just regret that I didn’t sing “I believe I can fly” out loud. 😅 Those who toy with the idea of daring: Do it. Tandemsistaz makes it easy. 🙏🏼🪂
wonderful

5.00An absolutely breathtaking experience! My pilot was incredibly professional, warm, and welcoming from start to finish. Their passion for flying really made the trip special, and I felt completely safe and at ease the whole time. If you’re in Austria, this is a must-do! I truly hope to come back and fly with them again someday.

Ein Flug voller Adrenalin, der sich absolut gelohnt hat!

5.00What an experience. I joined the flight hoping for something exciting, but it ended up being even crazier than I expected. The absolute highlight was doing the spiral dive. I was nervous before, but I went for it, and it was such an adrenaline rush. For a few moments it felt completely wild, but in the best way. Back on the ground, I was so relieved, happy, and honestly just proud that I had dared to do it. It was one of those moments where you immediately know it was worth it. Such a cool paragliding experience and something I will definitely remember for a long time. Absolutely recommend it. Best thing I did in Salzburg!!!!
