Clothing & Shoes for Paragliding at Wolfgangsee"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

A tandem flight at Wolfgangsee is straightforward: You don\u2019t need any elaborate preparation, but you should wear the right clothing and appropriate shoes. Especially at the Zw\u00f6lferhorn in St. Gilgen<\/strong>, we take off from a somewhat steep meadow slope. That\u2019s why good shoes and comfortable clothing are important to ensure that the takeoff, flight, and landing go smoothly. <\/p>\n\n

In this article, you’ll learn what to expect when tandem paragliding in the Salzkammergut<\/a><\/strong> \u2014from shoes and jackets to sunglasses.<\/p>\n\n

What kind of shoes do I need for tandem paragliding?<\/h3>\n\n

For your tandem flight, you’ll need closed-toe shoes<\/strong> that fit well. This is important because you mustn’t lose your shoes during takeoff, flight, and landing. <\/p>\n\n

Regular athletic shoes or sneakers<\/strong> are usually more than enough. The important thing is that they provide good support and, ideally, have some tread. At the Zw\u00f6lferhorn, we start on a grassy slope where you need good traction as you begin running. <\/p>\n\n

Hiking boots aren’t absolutely necessary, but they’re certainly suitable as well.<\/p>\n\n

In short: If you can walk a few steps downhill on a meadow in them, you’re all set.<\/p>\n\n

What should I wear for a tandem flight in the summer?<\/h3>\n\n

In the summer, you can generally dress however you feel comfortable. Even shorts<\/strong> are fine in warm weather. <\/p>\n\n

Still, keep in mind that you\u2019ll feel the wind while tandem paragliding. Even if it\u2019s warm down at Lake Wolfgang, it can feel a bit cooler up in the air. That\u2019s why we usually recommend a light jacket or a thin windbreaker<\/strong> \u2014except on very hot summer days. <\/p>\n\n

The following are well suited:<\/p>\n\n
