Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch from Plose is the sharpest adrenaline spike: you accelerate on foot across the takeoff slope and the ground simply drops away beneath you. After that, the flight settles into a sustained glide over the South Tyrol valley.
Do I need any experience to fly?
None for the standard tour. The physicalLevel is 'Everybody welcome', meaning you fly tandem with a certified pilot from Fliagn who handles all controls. Your only job is to run a few steps at takeoff.
How long does the whole experience last?
The standard session runs 2h from meeting point to landing, while the specialized mountain flight focuses on a 24 min duration. Both options provide direct exposure to the alpine environment.
What languages does the pilot speak?
The Fliagn pilot for the 110 € tour speaks German, Italian and English, ensuring the briefing and in-flight communication are covered in all three languages.
