Feel as free as a bird

With the paraglider

Paragliding is a sport for all seasons. On the Fulseck adventure mountain, the take-off conditions are better than almost anywhere else. The launch site for paragliding enthusiasts is right next to the summit station of the Gipfelbahn - Fulseck cable car.

Tip: Who want to take to the skies can secure a tandem flight with Lois Grugger's parataxi. Lois has been using the good conditions in Dorfgastein to fly guests safely down into the valley for 30 years.
