If you’re looking for a tandem flight in St. Gilgen<\/strong>, a tandem flight on Lake Wolfgangsee<\/strong> or paragliding on the Zw\u00f6lferhorn<\/strong>, you’ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Our flight school is located in St. Gilgen am Wolfgangsee, right next to the valley station of the Zw\u00f6lferhorn cable car. This is a real advantage for your tandem flight. <\/p>\n\n You arrive, meet your pilot at the flight school and are on your way to the launch site in just a few minutes. This location makes things much easier, especially for guests who are flying for the first time. You can relax and look forward to your experience while we organize the procedure. <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n The Zw\u00f6lferhorn is one of the most beautiful flying mountains in the Salzkammergut. It is particularly suitable for tandem flights because several things go together here: the cable car, easily accessible take-off points, suitable landing sites and a panorama that is hard to beat. <\/p>\n\n From the launch site, the view opens up over Lake Wolfgangsee, St. Gilgen, St. Wolfgang and the surrounding mountains. Depending on the weather, you can glide calmly over the lake or use the thermals for a longer flight. <\/p>\n\n The Zw\u00f6lferhorn is therefore the most important flying area for us. The conditions, the infrastructure and the view make it the ideal mountain for a tandem flight in the Salzkammergut<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Our pilots regularly fly on the Zw\u00f6lferhorn. They know the mountain, the typical wind directions, the best take-off times and the small peculiarities of the flying area. <\/p>\n\n You can feel this experience before take-off, during the flight and on landing. A good tandem pilot needs a feel for the weather, calmness in dealing with guests and a great deal of experience in the terrain. This is exactly what our pilots bring to the table. <\/p>\n\n As locals, they will also show you the region from a perspective that you would otherwise hardly get. During the flight, you will see Lake Wolfgangsee, the surrounding villages and many places that our pilots know from their everyday life in the Salzkammergut. <\/p>\n\n This turns your flight into a very personal experience over one of Austria’s most beautiful regions.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Safety is the top priority for every tandem flight. As the Salzkammergut Flying School<\/strong>, we deal with training, flying techniques, equipment, weather and safe behavior in the air on a daily basis. <\/p>\n\n We train paraglider pilots and accompany students from their first take-off to their paragliding license. As a result, we always stay close to the practical side of paragliding and the latest developments in the sport. <\/p>\n\n For you as a guest, this means that you fly with a team that understands paragliding from the ground up. Our equipment is high-quality, modern and regularly checked. We carefully assess the weather, wind and conditions before every flight. <\/p>\n\n If the conditions are right, we fly. If they are not, we wait or postpone the flight. We always make this decision in the interests of safety. <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Many guests are excited before their first tandem flight. This is completely normal. Our job is to make you feel safe and to make the process as easy as possible. <\/p>\n\n Your pilot will explain everything to you before take-off. You’ll learn how the take-off works, what you need to do and how the landing works. You don’t need any previous experience. A few steps together are usually enough for you to take off. <\/p>\n\n During the flight, your pilot will follow your lead. Some guests simply want to glide quietly and enjoy the view. Others want a little more dynamism when the conditions are right. The important thing is that you feel comfortable. <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Our guests regularly give us excellent ratings. We have the most 5-star ratings for tandem flights in the Salzkammergut and an average of 5.0 stars on Google<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n This makes us very happy, because reviews show how guests experienced the entire process: the booking, the reception, the support, the flight and the landing.<\/p>\n\n A lot of feedback revolves around precisely the points that are important to us: Safety, friendliness, professionalism, peace of mind and a real sense of experience. For us, this is the best confirmation of our work. <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n A tandem flight in St. Gilgen<\/strong> is the perfect accompaniment to a vacation on Lake Wolfgang. You don’t need any flying experience or special preparation. Normal agility is sufficient. <\/p>\n\n Many guests book their flight as the highlight of their vacation in the Salzkammergut. Others give a gift voucher for a birthday, Christmas or a special occasion. <\/p>\n\n International guests also often find us via terms such as Paragliding Wolfgangsee<\/strong> or Paragliding Zwolferhorn<\/strong>. The reason is simple: Lake Wolfgangsee looks impressive from the air and the Zw\u00f6lferhorn offers ideal conditions for this. <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n A tandem flight is all about trust. You want to know that the pilots are experienced, the equipment is suitable, the procedure is clear and the flying area has been well chosen. <\/p>\n\n This is exactly what the Salzkammergut Flying School stands for.<\/p>\n\n We are right next to the Zw\u00f6lferhorn cable car in St. Gilgen.
