Tandem Paragliding in East Tyrol

You do not need any special prior knowledge or experience for a tandem paragliding flight. A normal level of physical fitness and the ability to take a few steps during take-off are usually sufficient.

The permitted body weight is between 15 and 130 kilograms. A tandem flight may also be possible for people with physical limitations. Please contact us in advance so that we can discuss which flight is suitable for you.

There is generally no fixed age limit. The most important factors are the minimum weight of 15 kilograms and the physical ability to take part in the take-off.

At AIRTIME AUSTRIA, both children and older passengers have already enjoyed safe tandem flights. Children and young people require the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

No. You do not need any flying experience or special prior knowledge for a tandem flight. Before take-off, your tandem pilot will calmly explain the entire procedure and accompany you throughout the flight.

Tandem paragliding is not a parachute jump. The pilot and passenger take off together from a slope and gently lift into the air after just a few steps.

After welcoming you, your pilot carefully prepares the paraglider and all the necessary equipment. You will be provided with a harness and a helmet. Your pilot will then explain the take-off, the flight and the landing.

During take-off, you run forwards for a few steps when instructed by the pilot until the paraglider lifts into the air. You can then relax and enjoy the flight and the views over Lienz and the Dolomites.

Shortly before landing, you sit upright as instructed by your pilot and are brought safely back down to the ground.

The actual flying time for a standard tandem flight is approximately 20 minutes. The exact duration may vary depending on the wind, weather and thermal conditions.

Please also allow enough time for the journey to the take-off point, preparation, the safety briefing and the return from the landing area.

Please wear sturdy, non-slip footwear that preferably covers the ankles. Hiking or mountain boots are particularly suitable.

Your clothing should be comfortable and appropriate for the season and weather conditions. Depending on the temperature, we also recommend bringing:

• a windproof jacket
• gloves
• sunglasses

A helmet and all necessary flying equipment will be provided by AIRTIME AUSTRIA.
