Paragliding from Hochwurzen

16. Nov 2011 | Tags: Sommer, Sport, Fun

For more adventuresome spirits, the Hochwurzen is an ideal place for both paragliders and hanggliders to take off and sail away above one of the most impressive natural landscapes in the world.

Mind and body are one in this beautiful and exhilarating experience of the surrounding  forests, fields and mountain peaks. Pilots begin near the Hochwurzen lift station at an altitude of about 1800 m and land about 1000 m below at a landing area in a large field in Pichl.

Whoever would like to see the world from this spectacular perspective but does not yet have the requisite training can go on a tandem flight. Sit back and enjoy the ride!

The use of the Gondola lift is free for Sommercard holders.
