Paragliding · Kronplatz
How to choose
Three tandem paragliding flights launch from Kronplatz, all priced at 129 € or 190 €. Christoph Niederkofler runs two options at 129 € each: a summer flight (physical level: Occasionally sporty) and a winter version rated "Everybody welcome", both lasting 1.5h. SNOWDREAMERS charges 190 € for a 1h winter flight, also open to everyone. The 61 € premium for SNOWDREAMERS reflects a different operator and meeting point in Brunico, but you get 30 fewer minutes in the air. If maximizing time above the Dolomites matters, Christoph Niederkofler's 1.5h flights deliver more airtime per euro. All three operators speak English, German and Italian, so language is never a barrier.

Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of a tandem paragliding flight over Kronplatz?
The launch off the Kronplatz ridge is the sharpest spike: you go from standing to airborne in a few running steps, and the ground drops away immediately. After that, thermals above the Dolomites can create sudden lifts and turns that keep your heart rate elevated throughout the flight.
Do I need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
Two out of three flights are rated 'Everybody welcome', meaning no prior experience or fitness level is required. The sensation in the air differs from standing on a ledge, which many first-timers find easier to handle than expected. Your pilot handles everything.
What's the difference between the summer and winter flights?
The summer flight with Christoph Niederkofler is rated 'Occasionally sporty', reflecting more active thermal conditions typical of May to September. The winter versions from both operators are rated 'Everybody welcome', with calmer air and snow-covered Dolomite peaks as the backdrop.
Which flight gives the most airtime for the price?
Both Christoph Niederkofler options run 1.5h at 129 €, making them the best airtime-per-euro ratio of the three. The SNOWDREAMERS flight costs 190 € for 1h, which is 61 € more for 30 fewer minutes in the air.
Is paragliding over Kronplatz available year-round?
Two of the three listed flights are winter-specific, and the activity season data indicates peak availability from May through September. Check directly with the operator for exact dates outside that window, especially for winter slots.

Practical info
Equipment
All flights are tandem, so your pilot handles the gear. Wear warm, wind-resistant layers regardless of season, since temperatures drop significantly at altitude over the Dolomites. Secure footwear with ankle support is recommended for the running launch, especially on the 'Occasionally sporty' summer flight.
Getting there
Meet Christoph Niederkofler at Seilbahnstraße 10, Reischach (Brunico area), or head to Via Reiperting 27 in Brunico for SNOWDREAMERS. Both points are accessible from Brunico town center, roughly 5 km away, with the Kronplatz cable car nearby.
