Sepp Nindl
Even outside of professional tandem flying, flying has dominated Sepp's life for over 20 years: whether attempting new cross-country flight records in Brazil and the Alps, learning new aerobatic maneuvers (acrobatics) or climbing mountains and then flying from the highest peaks of the Alps, flying dominates his life. Here, too, a Top dog article in addition.
In combination with skydiving and base jumping, he continuously trains his flying and freefall skills. Even after the tandem flights, his motivation often remains and he continues to train hard and fly with friends. Here are a few experiences:
- Long distance flights in the Alps (FAI triangles):
- Stoderzinken with 285 km – personal record
- Zillertal with 276 km
- Antholz with 246 km
- Numerous Alpine crossings with the paraglider
- Long distance flights in Brazil (Personal Best: 441 and 425 km)
- Hike & Fly from the highest peaks of our Alps (Großglockner, Großes Wiesbachhorn, Hocheiser, Großvenediger, Kitzsteinhorn summit, Ortler, and many more)
- adventure and travel with the paraglider in South America, Australia, India, Nepal, Iceland, South Africa, Norway, …

Tom Seeber
In short: “I fly because I want to be free… and tandem because I want to make people happy…”
(That means: I fly because I want to be free – and tandem because I want to make people happy :)) – and our free spirit Tom always ensures a great mood!
Klemens Karacsonyi
Born in Graz and raised in the city, Klemens has now dedicated his life to nature and the mountains.
Whether in winter as a snowboard guide in St. Anton am Arlberg or in summer as a paraglider pilot in Pinzgau, he loves spending his time outdoors in nature.
"I'm lucky to have turned my hobbies into my career. Of course, it's even better when I can share these moments of happiness with other people!"
Christina Druck
Christina is the embodiment of joie de vivre and motivation. She flies because she wants to feel the freedom in the air. She loves taking her paraglider with her on trips and exploring the world.
She has been flying since 2010, is a tandem pilot and flight instructor, mental trainer and graphic designer.
Why she likes to take you into the air - quite simply: "I want to pass on a piece of all the wonderful experiences that I associate with flying - to give you a change of perspective and to show you that indescribable feeling up there."
Winni Pottendorfer
Winni has had many interesting experiences, for example on icy walls at 6000 m or in Ironman competitions. For him, however, nothing comes close to the direct feeling of flying with a paraglider "and besides, it's not that strenuous."
Despite having made well over a thousand flights in various variations of the sport, every moment in the air is a gift for him.
He wants to convey and share this and is a full-time flight instructor and tandem pilot.
David Geieregger
“Paragliding allows me to see the mountains in a whole new way and with the tandem I can take passengers with me and show them what I love about flying.”
Flying since 2019 (approx. 2000 flights)
Gliding into the valley after a strenuous climb will always be a special experience for me.
The versatility of paragliding means you never get bored. Whether it's on long-distance flights, showing a passenger the fascination of flying or flying just above the ground with a speed glider.
Eugene Wolf
Flight instructor and tandem pilot as well as enthusiastic cross-country pilot.
Eugen opened his own check and paragliding service company, Paragliding Service Wolf, in autumn 2023. He is therefore also highly trained in testing and equipment technology.
David Perez Dominguez
David has been living his dream for 20 years and enjoys the cooler temperatures (compared to southern Spain) here with us on the Schmittenhöhe in summer. With a big smile, he shows his guests his know-how and makes any uncertainty of his passengers disappear.
Fabian Reichholf
“Flying in all its diversity is freedom and life!”
Whether it's a tandem flight, a quick hike&fly or hours-long cross-country flights - Fabian spends every free minute in the air. The Oberpinzgau native loves nature, the mountains and passing on the indescribable feeling of flying to his passengers.
- Flying since 2014
- 260km FAI triangle through the Pinzgau
- Victory in the overall ranking of the 33h “Bordairrace” competition
- Numerous flights from the highest mountains in Austria
Alfi Aigner
“Standing at the summit is a beautiful thing, but then flying from there into the valley fills you with a new lease on life.”
Our cheerful Alfi will meet you at the landing place by the shuttle bus, will be happy to answer any questions you may have and will then drive you to the cable car.
