Tandem paragliding Tirol: I absolutely loved it and would do it again! Five stars! I did it in the winter spring transition season but still the temperature on that day was 0 degree C. The top of the mountain was covered fully with ice. I was not aware of the kind of shoes we use for this sort of activities and ended up with a regular running shoes. Peter was kind enough to offer me hiking shoes of my size. He was very good with communication as he has been doing this for more than a decade. It is important to do this with an experienced pilot and I was lucky to choose Peter. The flight experience was surreal and freaking cold. We had a long and perfect flight, however. If you have any doubts you can ask Peter even before making the trip. Enjoy the once in a lifetime experience if you are doing this for the first time! SRK

We had an amazing day with Peter, Hubi and Stepan, and we highly recommend flying with them. The day was very cloudy, but they reassured us that it would be a great flight if we delayed by a couple hours. They worked hard to make sure we had the most enjoyable and safest experience. Flying through the clouds and the mountains was thrilling and beautiful. We especially appreciated that they made extra efforts to help us get to and from the mountain, too. I hope to make it back to fly with them again!

Amazing hike! We showed our GetYourGuide tickets at the ticket counter and the woman exchanged them for regular cable car tickets. Take the cable car all the way up (second stop) and you can begin the hike right above the ski area. Round trip took about 2 hours. Amazing views and a great way to spend the day!

Excellent. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SNOW BOOTS AND SNOW SHOES/SPIKES. I hired mine in town before going. Couldn’t do this without them. The last cable car is 16:00 so time the walk appropriately. It took me 3hours for a round trip.

The most amazing Paragliding experience. Peter was great at explaining everything. I will definitely will do this again in the summer.
