Frequently asked questions
What does the 150 € price include?
The 150 € covers your tandem flight with a certified pilot, all harness and safety equipment, and the in-flight experience. Confirm any extras such as photos or video directly with Tandem Gleitschirm Tirol at booking.
How intense is a tandem paragliding flight above Imst?
Takeoff and the first thermal climb are the sharpest moments: the ground drops away fast and you feel the wing load up beneath you. Once airborne, the flight settles into a sustained glide with wide views over the Tyrolean Alps. Duration is 1h to 2h, so the exposure is long.
Do I need any prior experience or fitness level?
None. The flight is listed as open to everybody. Your pilot handles all controls. You need to run a few steps on takeoff, but no athletic background is required.
When is the best time to fly near Imst?
The season runs from May to September. July and August deliver the strongest thermals and the longest flights, but they are also the busiest months. May and September offer calmer air and shorter booking queues.
