Tandem flight – wherever you're staying in the region

Our launch sites in Lienz are easily reachable from across the region.

Lienz & East Tyrol

Staying in or near Lienz? The tandem flight is just a short ride away. Our launch sites Zettersfeld and Hochstein are right above town. A perfect highlight for a day out – or a spontaneous plan when the weather cooperates.

Plan your route

Upper Carinthia

Lienz is easily reachable from Upper Carinthia. A tandem flight makes a great day trip – arrive in the morning, fly around midday, then explore the old town of Lienz or relax at Tristacher See in the afternoon.

Plan your route

Drau Valley

Along the Drau Valley between Spittal and Lienz, our meeting point is practically on the way. If you're holidaying in the Drau Valley, you'll reach us without any detours.

Plan your route

Möll Valley

From the Möll Valley, Lienz is a straightforward drive. Combine a day near the Großglockner with a tandem flight over the Lienz Dolomites – two perspectives on the same mountains.

Plan your route

Isel Valley & Matrei

From Matrei in East Tyrol it's a short drive to Lienz. A tandem flight is a welcome change from the hiking programme and shows you the valley from a completely different angle.

Plan your route

Kals am Großglockner

In Kals, everything revolves around the Großglockner. You can see it from above too – on a tandem flight from Lienz. The drive is manageable, and the flight fits nicely into a day of hiking or a mountain excursion.

Plan your route

St. Jakob in Defereggental

The Defereggen Valley is quiet and unspoilt. Looking for a change of pace? A tandem flight from Lienz is the perfect contrast to your daily hikes – and an experience you'll remember.

Plan your route

Puster Valley – Sillian & Obertilliach

From the Puster Valley, Lienz is the nearest larger town. Tandem paragliding is an outdoor activity that's not easily available elsewhere here – and the views over the Dolomites are worth it.

Weather, safety & what to bring

Weather & safety

Whether we fly is the pilot's call, based on current weather conditions. Safety always comes first. If conditions aren't right, we reschedule – no stress.

Planning around the weather

Mountain weather changes fast. That's why we arrange flight times at short notice and stay flexible. Best to contact us a few days before your preferred date – so we can find the ideal window together.

What to bring

  • Sturdy shoes (hiking boots ideal, no sandals)
  • Long trousers
  • Jacket or fleece – it can be noticeably cooler up high
  • Sunglasses and sun protection
  • No bulky backpacks needed

Who can fly?

Tandem flights are suitable for almost everyone – no experience needed. Children can fly too, as long as they can understand and follow the pilot's instructions. If you have any health concerns, just check with us beforehand.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a tandem flight in Lienz last?

A tandem flight with KOFLY typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes. The exact duration depends on thermal conditions and wind. With the XXL thermal package, flights of over one hour are possible.

Do I need experience for paragliding?

No experience is needed at all. You fly with a certified tandem pilot who handles all the controls. You just need to take a few running steps downhill at launch – the pilot does the rest.

What should I wear for a tandem flight?

Sturdy shoes (hiking boots ideal, no sandals), long trousers and a jacket or fleece. At 2,220m on the Zettersfeld it's noticeably cooler than in the valley. We also recommend sunglasses and sun protection.

From what age can children do a tandem flight?

There is no fixed minimum age. What matters is that the child can understand the pilot's instructions and run a few steps independently at launch. In our experience, this works well from about age 5–6.

What happens in bad weather?

Safety always comes first. If weather conditions aren't suitable, we reschedule your flight free of charge to the next available date. That's why we contact you beforehand to find the optimal time together.

Where is the meeting point for the tandem flight?

We arrange the exact meeting point based on weather and the chosen launch site (Zettersfeld or Hochstein). We usually meet near the valley station or at our landing zones near Nussdorf-Debant.

Are photos and videos of the flight available?

Yes, with the media package (from €170) you receive professional GoPro footage – photos and HD video on a 4GB SD card, right after landing. With the Classic package, recordings can be added optionally.

How safe is tandem paragliding?

Tandem flights with KOFLY are conducted exclusively by state-certified pilots with certified EN/LTF equipment. Daniel Kofler has been flying since 1999 with over 5,000 flight hours. Whether we fly always depends on current weather conditions.

Can I fly if I'm afraid of heights?

Yes! Many of our passengers are initially nervous about heights. Most report that paragliding feels completely different from standing on a mountain – more like gentle floating. The pilot can adjust the flight experience to your comfort level at any time.

Are gift vouchers available?

Yes, all flight packages are available as gift vouchers – a perfect present for birthdays, Christmas or special occasions. You can pick up the voucher from us or receive it by post. Just contact us via WhatsApp or phone.
