The start

The take-off procedure begins with a short briefing and careful adjustment of the harness.

As soon as everything is in place, you’re ready to go: with a few determined steps, the glider picks up speed – and you gently lift off the ground. The moment of take-off is short, but impressive.

The flight

During the flight you glide freely through the air and can enjoy the flight to the full.

From 1,940 metres above sea level, we set off together from the Gerlitzen on a unique adventure with breathtaking views. Lake Ossiach glistens below you, the famous Lake Wörthersee sparkles in the distance and the tranquil Lake Faakersee lies embedded in the landscape like a mirror. The imposing Karawanken and the majestic Julian Alps frame the panorama like a picture.

1,400 metres in altitude between take-off and landing site, approx. 20-30 minutes of intense nature experience, a pure feeling of freedom and the unforgettable feeling of being one with the sky.

Ideal for all those who want to experience flying up close and discover Carinthia from a bird’s eye view!

The landing

The landing is calm and controlled. The glider glides gently towards the ground and the landing site slowly approaches. You float along almost weightlessly until your feet finally touch the ground. With two or three light steps, you catch the movement – and then stand safely and firmly on the ground again. A peaceful end to a special moment.

We look forward to welcoming you in the air soon – for an unforgettable flying experience!

You will find the landing site directly on Moosweg (Ossiacher See Straße junction), recognisable by a grey awning and a white banner with the words “Paragliding Ossiacher See”.

We fly with passengers from 20 kg to 120 kg.

We start with the paraglider from the most beautiful Carinthian mountains and are therefore dependent on the weather, a gliding flight from the Gerlitzen takes about 20 minutes. In good thermal conditions, our pilots will use the updraft to gain height and extend the flight to 30-40 minutes. For one run (ascent, preparation, take-off, flight and landing) 1.5 hours must be calculated.

There are no legal age restrictions for passengers. We fly with our younger guests from a weight of 20 kg, for children and young people up to the age of 18 the signature of a parent or guardian is required on the flight ticket. Many of our guests are under the age of 18, our youngest passenger was 5 years old and as you can see in our photo gallery, everyone had a great time.

Age doesn’t matter, as long as you are fit and can take a few quick steps in the terrain, nothing stands in the way of a tandem flight. The two oldest passengers who flew with fly4you were 78 and 82 years old and would want to fly again in a heartbeat.

If you can take a few quick steps and have no serious chronic illnesses, nothing stands in the way of a tandem flight. If you have a heart condition or other impairments, the pilot must be informed before the flight!

Yes, you can wear your glasses or contact lenses as normal, but we also recommend sunglasses, as the wind (approx. 35 km/h) and the strong sun can be annoying in summer.

The paraglider has developed into a safe flying device over the last few decades. Only simple and therefore very safe paragliders are used for tandem paragliding flights. In the hands of responsible and experienced pilots, they offer everyone the unique opportunity to fly. As with all sports, a certain residual risk cannot be avoided; most injuries (sprains, bruises) occur during the take-off run.

Many pilots have a fear of heights, the feeling when they look down from a tower or the edge of a cliff that they are being pulled downwards. With a paraglider, this fear is blown away, as soon as you lose contact with the ground, the fear of falling disappears and you can enjoy your flight!
