Tandem paragliding from the Schmittenhöhe
Tandem paragliding from the Schmittenhöhe
This is the perfect adventure for anyone who wants to see the Salzburg region from above.
You can look out over 30 three-thousand-meter peaks. Yes, the mountains here are simply beautiful. The whole thing is rounded off with the unique view of Lake Zell.
In recent years, the Schmittenhöhe has become one of the most popular flying areas in Austria. And it deserves it, because the thermals here are particularly advantageous. When taking off, you can take off in any direction!
Top thermals on the Schmittenhöhe
Especially if you want to enjoy the great view for as long as possible, the thermals are crucial.
The strong updraft makes the thermals on the Schmittenhöhe so powerful. Thermal flights or cross-country flights are best between April and August. Plan your Paragliding trip to the Kaprun reservoirs.
You always land at the landing site near Fürth (Kapruner Straße 2, 5721 Piesendorf, train station). There you can find connections to the valley station by public transport. Did you know? The Schmittenhöhe is Austria's most beautiful mountain with a view! If you are still looking for accommodation nearby, then take a look at we rent apartments & chalets over!
