Discover Lake Wolfgang from the air on a classic tandem paragliding flight from the Zwölferhorn in St. Gilgen. This experience is ideal for first-time flyers, couples, families and friends who want to experience one of the most beautiful views in the Salzkammergut.
Your experience starts at the flight school Salzkammergut, right next to the valley station of the Zwölferhornbahn. There you will meet your local Pro pilot, receive your equipment and receive an understandable safety briefing.
You only have to walk a few steps to get started. Once you're in the air, your pilot will fully control the paraglider. You do not need any prior knowledge and can enjoy the view over St. Gilgen, Lake Wolfgang, the surrounding mountains and the Salzkammergut.
Each passenger flies with their own pilot. Up to 4 guests can book the same time slot – ideal for couples, families or small groups who want to share the experience together.

5.00It was fantastic. My 5th. Flight in wonderful summer weather and fantastic distant vision. My pilot the Andy was mega. He did rock 'n roll with me on demand. That was an indescribable feeling when the umbrella was among us several times. Thank you Andy.
