4.Private Tandem Paragliding Werfenweng Mt Bischling

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 15 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours (approx.) · from $236

Fly tandem from Bischlinghöhe above Werfenweng with an English-speaking FlyTandem pilot. A cable car takes you to the launch area, where the Hochkönig, Dachstein, and Tennengebirge fill the view. Expect about 90 minutes to two hours overall, private flying for your group, and a calm, carefully managed introduction to paragliding.

“Paragliding in Werfenweng was one of the coolest experiences of my life. My guide was amazing, FlyTandem was wonderful, and the whole process was easy. I felt very safe and well-taken care of. I did one of the thermal flights and we were up in the air for over an hour! We were able to get up to over 12000 feet and were higher than the mountains. It was beautiful and looked like a dream. I definitely recommend flying with FlyTandem. While it was a little more difficult to get to Werfenweng, it is 100% worth it and you get to see the beautiful Austrian countryside.”
