How to choose

All 3 flights launch from the Gerlitzen mountain above Lake Ossiach and cost exactly 149 €, so price won't make your decision. The real split is physical level and season. Flycenter Ossiachersee offers two options: a summer flight (1.5h to 2h, the longest block available) and a dedicated winter flight (1.5h), both rated "Everybody welcome" , zero experience required. Adventure Wings Ossiachersee runs a 1.5h summer flight rated "Occasionally sporty", meaning you'll be more active during takeoff and landing. Go with Flycenter Ossiachersee's summer flight for maximum air time and the easiest entry. Choose Adventure Wings Ossiachersee if you want a slightly more hands-on experience over Lake Ossiach.

Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment of the flight?
Launch off the Gerlitzen ridge is where the adrenaline peaks: you run forward, the wing inflates above you, and your feet leave the ground within seconds. After that, the thermals take over and the glide above Lake Ossiach is smooth.
Do I need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
Not necessarily. Most first-timers report that the sensation is closer to floating than falling. You're strapped in tandem with a certified pilot, so there's no control input required from you.
Is the winter flight really possible over Lake Ossiach?
Yes. Flycenter Ossiachersee runs a dedicated winter paragliding flight from the Gerlitzen in 1.5h format. Cold temperatures actually produce stable air conditions that experienced pilots prefer for long glides.
How high above the lake will I be flying?
The Gerlitzen summit sits well above Lake Ossiach, giving a significant altitude difference. The exact height above the water depends on thermals and the flight path chosen by the pilot on the day.
Can I bring a camera or GoPro?
Check directly with your operator before attaching any device. Loose items and unsecured cameras are a safety risk during takeoff and landing. Both operators speak English and can confirm their equipment policy at booking.
