Go tandem paragliding in the Stubai Valley near Innsbruck for about 1 hour. Private flight, glacier and Nordkette views, equipment included.

“Tandem paragliding was in the top 6 experiences of my life, along with marrying Bernie; giving birth to my 2 children; waterskiing; downhill skiing; and traveling to Europe, the Alps, in particular. We almost had to cancel, due to foggy weather. However, Rouwen was most professional, by letting my granddaughter and I decide whether to hike higher to get above the clouds, in order to have the perfect glide...and it WAS!!! Have wanted to tandem paraglide for 20 years, so I gave it to myself for my 80th birthday! What a gift--never to be forgotten! Now I have a wonderful video and pics to remember the amazing trip! Rouwen was…”

Tandem paragliding from Elfer or Schlick 2000 in Stubaital, with helmet, harness, training voucher, and a mountain-panorama flight plus certificate.

“A really fun experience! Breathtaking views and lots of fun. Hubi was a very patient instructor when I finally reached him. Completely worth it for the flight alone. However, the average rating is for the following: The experience itself is perhaps not for a solo first timer to the area - I am not a skiier, so I was unfamiliar with the meeting place. I asked questions and was met with blunt answers. Didn’t feel overly professional for a business. I got off at the wrong stop on the cable car initially and was hung up on when trying to explain that I couldn’t get back into the gate with…”

“I applied to Paraglide at 10.15am and received confirmation until the day before when I received a message stating the weather would not be good in the morning so the session had been changed to the afternoon. After Jules spent a lot of time and effort juggling my (and other) bookings I was suppose to Paraglide at 2.45pm. The weather at 10am was overcast, no rain and no wind in the city (I do not know the exact weather conditions at Mt Gaisberg). I sat at the bus stop (for bus 151) and the bus never came - then I received a call that the Paragliding had been canceled due…”

Private tandem paragliding in Mayrhofen, Austria. All levels, clear safety briefings, 20 to 25 minutes over the Zillertal Alps.

“Was een heel mooie beleving. Zeker de moeite waard. Is niet goedkoop en houdt er rekening mee dat je ook nog apart moet betalen voor de lift naar boven en de foto’s en video’s. Samen nog een kleine € 50,00 pp extra. Desalniettemin erg cool om te doen en Mario en Laurens zijn prettige mensen.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 31 reviews · 1 hour · from $233

Tandem paragliding from Schmittenhöhe in Zell am See. Soar at 6,500 ft, get GoPro video and photos, thermal option, safe.

“Really great experience. The pilot was really committed, even before the flight. He proposed to pick me up to go to the flight & was flexible in term of timing due to the weather in order to offer the best experience possible. In general, pilots speak different language, for exemple in my case, french. It was really nice & it facilitated the communication, especially in term of guidelines before the flight, how to start, how to land etc. To sum up, I really recommend this activity & discover mountain in this way is something really special.”

Private tandem paragliding in Werfenweng, Salzburg. Cable car launch at Bischlinghöhe, huge views of Hochkönig and Dachstein. 1.5-2h.

“Paragliding in Werfenweng was one of the coolest experiences of my life. My guide was amazing, FlyTandem was wonderful, and the whole process was easy. I felt very safe and well-taken care of. I did one of the thermal flights and we were up in the air for over an hour! We were able to get up to over 12000 feet and were higher than the mountains. It was beautiful and looked like a dream. I definitely recommend flying with FlyTandem. While it was a little more difficult to get to Werfenweng, it is 100% worth it and you get to see the beautiful Austrian countryside.”
