General information
Weight range
We fly with passengers between 25-100kg (55-220 lbs.)
Fear of heights/ Vertigo
Experience shows that tandem flights are generally unproblematic for those with a fear of heights, as one’s relationship to the ground is non-existent. We can therefore, with good conscience, recommend this adventure to one and all!
Age
We have no age limit. We offer everyone the chance to fly, as long they fall within the specified weight-limit (25-100kg), and can walk 10 quick steps for the take-off. Children area always welcome. We’ve taken everyone between the ages of 3-88 to the skies! For those passengers under 18, we need written permission from a parent or guardian!
Fitness
If you can jog 10 steps on level ground, then you can fly with us! During take-off, a few quick steps are required of you, but during landing, everything is in the capable hands of your pilot. With preexisting medical conditions, please consult your physician before taking flight--and please let us know ahead of time as well.
Shoes
for a tandem flight, stable hiking boots with good ankle-support are required. Please no sneakers, combat boots or soft boots. If you don’t have the required footwear, we can provide shoes, free of cost--sizes 35-45 (sizes 5-13, ca.). In this case, please let us know your shoe size when you call to book your flight.
Clothing
We’ve got you covered!
- Coverall that you can comfortably wear over your normal clothing Sturdy
- non-slip hiking boots with ankle-support
- Gloves
If you prefer to dress yourself, please remember the following:
- Sturdy, non-slip hiking boots with ankle-support
- Wind--breaker jacket (warm!)
- Sturdy pants
- Gloves
- Sunglasses
In winter, wear what you would to go skiing. A scarf, heavy gloves, and ski-goggles are perfect. That way you’ll be just as warm as when you’re skiing!
Flight-gear
Your entire flight-gear is provided entirely by us, is regularly checked and updated, and includes:
- Glider
- Harness with protector
- Rescue (extra chute)
- Altimeter Helmet
Licensed Pilots
All of our pilots are licensed with the state-required passenger-flight permit. Beyond this, most of our pilots are licensed paragliding instructors, active as tandem instructors, and first-class in competitions world-wide. More specifics on our ‘Team’ page. And naturally the entire team is fully insured.
Approved Equipment
We only use up-to-date, spot-checked material. The glider is regularly checked by independent testers, much like a car inspection.
Insurance
Our pilots are all covered by a special passenger liability insurance, with more-than-adequate coverage levels. This insurance is required for all active tandem pilots in Germany.
Weather safety
We only fly when the conditions are safe. What may seem like normal weather, can still pose serious risks for paragliders, so the decision to proceed with a flight lies entirely in the capable hands of your pilot. Please note: your pilot may decide to abort the flight just before take-off, if conditions change unexpectedly. Even if this causes you inconvenience, we hope that you understand that safety is our top priority.
Upgrades
Each voucher is upgradeable, and you can discuss these possible upgrades with your pilot on location--keeping in mind that the weather has to play along. If you know ahead of time that you’d like to upgrade, please let us know with your booking, and we will try to accommodate!
Expiration
Your voucher is valid from purchase for two years, at which point it expires.
Insta-voucher
If you want your ticket extra-speedy, you can go for our insta-voucher, which you can print out at home. More info under "voucher".
Year-round
We fly all year, weather permitting. Every season has its perks: winter offers calm conditions, snowy fairytale landscapes and a clear view of the mountains, while summer brings with it lofty heights and lively air to delight the airborne.
Rendezvous
We’ll be in touch the evening before your scheduled flight, to let you know where to meet your pilot. Usually, rendezvous is at the Nebelhornbahn or, during peak season, in our shop right next to the station.
Daily
We really do fly year-round when the weather cooperates. Even on Sundays and holidays. We’re reachable per phone or email everyday as well. Between 9-18h, our office can be reached at +49 176 8429 8931. During peak season (between June and October), our additional line in the shop next to the Nebelhornbahn station is open from 9-17h: +49 8322 401 01 87.
Reservation
In the main Season (June-September) its better to book minimum 2 weeks prior. In low season we are more flexible and a few days prior are enough. The more people you are and if you want to fly at a weekends the earlier you should reservate.
Telephone hours
We area reachable per phone and glad to help at +49 176 842 989 31, between 9-18h daily. From June to October, you can also reach us at +49 8322 401 0187, or speak to us in person in the shop next to the Nebelhornbahn station from 9-17h.
Cable car ticket
The cable car ticket normally not included. But many accomodations have "cable car ticket" included. So check if you can get a free ticket from your accomodation in advance and bring it to the flight appointment.
Photos
We recommend taking advantage of our photo service, so that you can concentrate fully on your spectacular in-flight experience, and then enjoy the professional photos and videos that we provide later. We’ll give you your images on a USB stick right after landing, and you can take them home immediately. If you want to take your own pictures, be sure to secure your camera in-flight!
Which flight to choose?
Our most popular flight takes off at the Nebelhornbahn station "Höfatsblick.” This flight is quite flexible, and can range from a gentle glide into the valley, to an extended thermal experience, weather permitting. More info under ‘flights.’
Spectators
Your family and friends can share in your tandem glory--we recommend that they watch from the landing spot, next to the Oybele, ca. 300m from the Nebelhornbahn station. From there, they’ll see a part of the flight itself, and can watch the landing close-up. Please note, for those wishing to watch the take-off, you may be faced with a long wait at the Nebelhornbahn entrance, while the pilot and passenger alone can circumvent this via a special VIP entrance.

There are various ways to pop the question in the air! Get in touch with us, and we’ll be glad to help. Here’s a short video of our last flying proposal: vimeo.com

Nebelhorn
Our most popular tandemflight in summer and in winter takes off at the Bergstation Höfatsblick (1932m), and carries you along the rugged slopes of the Schattenberg before soaring out over the Oberstdorfer valley.
The mountain village spreads its quaint sights out below us, such as the Schattenbergschanze (Vier-Schanzen-Tournee, Ski-jumping). Our team will gladly take to the skies with you and your family or friends together.

We can use the rising air currents in this same way, and with the right conditions can fly high above the alpine peaks. If the conditions are weak we allready start from the highest takeoff in the Allgäuer Alps.
The Nebelhorn peak is the biggest tourist attraction in Oberstdorf for a reason. Even before we take to the skies, the view is incomparable: we can see 400 peaks, from the Zugspitze all the way to the Bodensee. After lift-off, the alpine meadows, rugged cliffs and clear mountain lakes at your feet complete your dream of flying.
