The offer
Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch off Kriegerhorn mountain station. You go from standing on alpine terrain to full altitude exposure in seconds, with the Arlberg valley dropping away beneath you. That first thermal lift is the sharpest adrenaline hit of the 1.5h experience.
Do I need paragliding experience?
None. The physical level is listed as 'everybody welcome' and the tandem format means your pilot handles all controls. You focus on the view and the sensation.
Is this a winter-only flight?
The tour title references winter, but the listed season runs May through September. Contact Tandemsky directly to confirm current availability and whether winter slots are also offered.
What languages does the pilot speak?
German only, according to the listed data. If you don't speak German, reach out to Tandemsky before booking to confirm how they handle briefings for non-German speakers.
