How to choose

10 tandem flights across the Zillertal, from 90 € to 320 €, with durations ranging from 45 min to 1.5h. Three clear tiers: budget entry points (90,120 €) suit first-timers with "Everybody welcome" physical levels and cover launches above Fügen, Mayrhofen and Wildschönau. Mid-range flights (130 €) extend airtime to 1h,1.5h and include operators like Fly2095 Paragliding flying out of Mayrhofen. Premium options (250,320 €) from TandemProfis push into glacier territory, including a full distance flight from the Hintertux Glacier down to Mayrhofen at 320 €. All tours are marked "Occasionally sporty" or open to everyone, so physical fitness is not the deciding factor. Your call comes down to one question: do you want a standard valley flight or a glacier crossing?

Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense paragliding experience available in the Zillertal?
The distance flight from Hintertux Glacier to Mayrhofen at 320 € is the peak experience. You launch from a glacier and cover the full length of the valley in a 1.5h flight, with altitude gain that no standard takeoff can match.
Do I need any previous experience to fly?
No. The majority of tours are rated "Everybody welcome", and even the "Occasionally sporty" options require no prior training. You fly as a passenger strapped to a certified tandem pilot.
How long does a typical tandem flight last?
Most flights run between 45 min and 1.5h depending on the tour. Entry-level options over Fügen start at 45 min, while glacier flights consistently clock 1.5h in the air.
What's the scariest moment during a tandem paragliding flight?
The launch. You run off a mountain slope and within a few strides you're airborne. The first 30 seconds of ascent, before the glider fully stabilizes, is where most passengers feel the strongest adrenaline spike.
When is the best season to fly in the Zillertal?
May through September is the main season for summer flights. Winter tandem options are also available in Fügen and Mayrhofen for those who want a snow-covered valley backdrop.
Do all pilots speak English?
Almost all do. Every operator in this listing offers flights in English. Stocky Air also flies in Spanish, which is useful for non-English or non-German speakers.

Practical info

Season

May – September

Equipment

Wear warm, close-fitting layers even in summer: temperatures drop sharply at launch altitude in the Zillertal Alps. Sturdy closed-toe shoes are mandatory, and flights lasting up to 1.5h mean sun protection on your face and hands is worth the extra minute to apply.

Getting there

Most meeting points are in or around Mayrhofen, Fügen and Schwendau, all reachable via the Zillertalbahn train from Jenbach, which connects to the main Innsbruck rail hub roughly 40 km west.
