flight procedure
​
Tandem paragliding is a fascinating way of flying.
Our paraglider fits in two easy portable backpacks - we carry them with us to the top of Gerlitzen Alpe in the cable car.
​When we arrive on the summit, it's only a 2 minute walk to the take off point, depending on flight area and wind direction.
After that, your tandem pilot prepares the paraglider for take off - in the meantime you get a sneak peak of the beautiful area.
​
​
take off
​
Before take off, the paraglider will be laid out and checked.
Then you get your harness and helmet applied and your tandem pilot explains the take off procedure.
Right before the take off there's the 7 point-check!
When you get the command to start, you have to run a little bit - or depending on the wind, you have to take just a few steps and before you know it, you're in the air.
​
​
landing
​
The landing is soft and uncomplicated.
Right before the landing, your tandem pilot will explain the landing process.
You will land either running or sitting, depending on the wind.
