Paragliding at The Weissensee Lake
The beautiful southerly Carinthia with its beautiful lakes is one of the finest tourist regions in Austria. Each year in January thousands of Dutch ice skaters descend here for their “Alternatieve Elfstedentocht”. Hajo Smit, the owner of VIP-paragliding, is an avid ice skater and he decided to set up the tandem paragliding during the event. People love it! Do it too!
elegantly flying from the Naggleralm
The Naggleralm is one of the nicest mountain huts in Austria. After relaxing there for a while enjoying the sun a paragliding tandem flight is the elegant way to go down.
And during the Summer Go Fly in Greifenburg on the Emberger Alm
So while VIP-paragliding usually only flies in Carinthia during the annual ice skating event in January, you can of course make beautiful tandem flights in the region in the summer too. The place too be for this is Greifenburg, which is just 25 minutes driving from the Weissensee. The local tandem flight provider has a taxi service to the famous Emberger Alm starting location. The strong and stable thermals in the area allow for great flights where you may even look down on the Weissensee from afar. Solo pilots love this area which is famous for it’s potential for long and safe cross country flights. So if you are at the Weissensee or anywhere else in the region in summer. Do contact us and reserve your flights. We will hook you up with the local provider and sometimes come down (tunnel) to fly along with the local tandem team.
