Paragliding
One of the really cool things you can do on your winter sports vacation is a paragliding tandem flight from the Schmittenhöhe in the middle of the Zell am See ski area. Depending on the wind direction, you can even take off on skis. You can wear ski boots anyway if there is a bit of wind. You can also fly with your own ski suit, ski helmet, goggles and gloves. So you hardly lose any time on your ski day. Especially when the snow gets slushy later in the winter in the afternoon, it is a good idea to take a tandem flight after a wonderful day of skiing or snowboarding. The landing site is also just a 5-minute walk from Landhaus Kitzblick, so you’ll feel right at home. If you fly at lunchtime, you can also land in the Schmittental and take the gondola back up quickly to continue enjoying your day’s skiing.
Landhaus Kitzblick works together with the Dutch tandem pilot Hajo Smit, who has lived in Kaprun for years. With his company VIP-paragliding.com he lets you experience this great adventure. He can pick you up at a desired location in the ski area. Afterwards you float for about 20 minutes over the beautiful mountain world of the Pinzgau. If the wind is strong at the top, you can fly longer. From March onwards, longer thermal flights are also possible, taking you far above the Schmittenhöhe. Very important passenger At VIP-paragliding.com you are a very important passenger. The pilots feel exactly what they like best. Maybe a bit of self-steering or a few spectacular rollercoaster rides in the air? Everything is possible, safe and convenient. Price The price for a tandem paragliding flight is 188 euros including photo and video recordings with a GoPro on a selfie stick. These images are transferred to your phone after the flight
We say: go for it!
Your advantage in winter is that you already have a ski pass. You therefore do not have to pay the cost of a separate journey. As an additional winter advantage (winter sports are expensive enough) Hajo gives guests of the Landhaus Kitzblick a 10% winter discount! You can fly 1200 vertical meters for only 170 euros! Bonus At VIP-paragliding.com you will receive a voucher for a taster course day at the Pinzgau flying school worth 80 euros after your flight.
