Details
Experience the unique feeling of flying while tandem paragliding. High above Lake Ossiach, you can enjoy a breathtaking view over Carinthian mountains and lakes, while we use the up winds like an eagle to climb even higher in the air. During the whole time, your skilled tandem pilots will ensure an absolutely safe experience that you will remember for a long time to come.
Tour programme- Meeting & Preparation:
We meet at our base in Bodensdorf, where you can also park your car. From here, we take our shuttle bus to the Kanzelbahn lift in Annenheim. With the cable car, we reach the starting point on the summit, where we prepare the equipment. Before we start, you will also receive a detailed safety briefing from your pilot.
- Start and Flight:
As soon as you are ready, you will be attached to the paraglider together with the pilot, and you are ready to go. After a few quick steps over the grass, you are already airborne. Now, you can simply lean back and enjoy the view over Lake Ossiach and the surrounding valleys. During the flight, your pilot will take photos, which you can then have a look at and purchase after the flight.
- After Landing:
After 20 to 30 minutes of flight time, we land again in Bodensdorf, directly at our original meeting point. Under the pilot's instruction, the landing is soft and easy. Depending on the wind conditions, we land either sitting or running. Spectators are very welcome and can watch your flight from the landing site.

That was the best thing I've done lately. The team was great, my tandem partner was easygoing and it was so much fun. I will definitely do it again at least once. Thumbs up !!!

This was the absolute highlight of our summer vacation and we can only recommend it to everyone. The people from the Adventure Wings team are cool and super-nice. They also do a good job of encouraging those who are not so relaxed about the action and giving them confidence so that everyone can enjoy the flight. I left my windbreaker in the chair lift and, as a matter of course, got one for the flight. Many thanks to the whole team for this wonderful experience. That was definitely not the last time.

Perfectly organized and very friendly team. The landing site is not far from the campsites and is only used by this company. No mass processing. It was a great experience.
