Paragliding at Gerlitzen Alpe
Paragliding and tandem flying above Lake Ossiacher See
The Gerlitzen Alpe not only offers impressive landscapes and culinary delights, but also a paradise for paragliding enthusiasts and all those who want to become one. Accessible with the Gerlitzen mountain railway, this is a gateway to a world where you can soar above Lake Ossiach. Tandem flights with our flying schools are possible without prior knowledge.
Tandem flights for young and old
Whether you want to experience paragliding alone or in tandem, the Gerlitzen Alpe has the right offer for everyone. Our tandem companies and flight schools welcome interested parties of all ages - even children from the age of 5 can experience tandem flying, depending on their weight. A state-certified flight instructor will explain the take-off procedure to you simply and clearly.
After a short run-up, you take off and can relax and enjoy the breathtaking view. The flight lasts around 30 minutes, during which you can admire the picturesque Carinthian landscape and the glistening Lake Ossiach from a bird's eye view.
Safety and weather
Safety is paramount when paragliding. Modern and regularly checked equipment as well as the many years of experience of our pilots guarantee a safe and unforgettable flight experience for tandem guests.
Paragliding on the Gerlitzen Alpe is only possible in suitable weather conditions. Safety standards stipulate that flights cannot be carried out in rain, fog or strong winds. These regulations ensure that all participants can enjoy a safe and enjoyable experience.
