Important info for beginners
The costs depend on various factors such as size, material and equipment of the paraglider. New equipment costs between 4,000 and 5,000 euros. It includes paraglider, rescue equipment, harness and helmet.
Paragliding requires a certain level of physical fitness and coordination, but it is not necessarily difficult to learn. However, for safe flight, it is important to have thorough training and education. There are different levels of difficulty in paragliding, from easy flights to challenging cross-country flights. The basic thing is to always follow the safety rules and only fly in suitable weather conditions.
In the Alps, a paraglider can reach altitudes of up to about 3,500 m, sometimes even over 4,000 m, under optimal conditions.
A paraglider lasts about 500 to 600 flying hours, which corresponds to about 5-10 years, depending on treatment and use. The paraglider needs to be checked every two years, the reserve needs to be aired and repacked about 1-3 times a year.
A paragliding tandem flight is possible in the Stubaital at any time of year with calm wind conditions. Thanks to the many 3,000-metre peaks and the exceptionally good thermals, the Stubaital is the Tyrolean hotspot for paragliders par excellence.
You will need sturdy ankle-high shoes and warm clothing appropriate to the season: jacket and long trousers in summer, ski trousers or warm trousers and jacket in winter, as well as sunglasses and possibly gloves.
