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.

Kössen in Tyrol
Every summer countless paragliding enthusiasts come to Kössen because of the good thermals, cable car and the complete infrastructure.
Kössen is probably the most famous flying area in Europe and has developed into a Mecca for the scene over the decades.
The difference in altitude is slightly smaller here than on the Schmittenhöhe and therefore a little cheaper, but the view of the Kaiser Mountains is second to none!
Bramberg Neukirchen
Oberpinzgau is also waiting for you with great flights from Wildkogel. Depending on the starting point, 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 on we fly on the Schmittenhöhe because the take-off wind on the Wildkogel no longer allows save take-offs.

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.
