Tandem Paragliding from Munich
Fly over the Bavarian Alps — just 90 minutes from the city
Munich to the Alps in 90 Minutes
You're in Munich and you want to fly. We get it. The good news: some of Germany's best paragliding is right on your doorstep. The Breitenberg near Pfronten — 1,838 metres, four launch sites, views all the way to the Zugspitze — is just 90 minutes down the A7.
No experience needed. No training. Just show up, meet your pilot, take the cable car up, and fly. 15–25 minutes of silent, motorless flight over the Bavarian Alps. Then a soft landing on a meadow, a big grin, and a story you'll tell for years.
How Your Tandem Paragliding Flight Works
1. Drive to Pfronten
90 minutes from Munich via the A7. Free parking at the Breitenbergbahn cable car station. Easy to find, well signposted.
2. Meet Your Pilot
Your DHV-certified tandem pilot meets you at the cable car. Together you ride up to the launch site at 1,670 m. Time for questions and a quick briefing.
3. Take Off
A few steps downhill and you're airborne. The paraglider fills with wind, lifts you gently, and suddenly you're flying. Most people say: "That was way easier than I expected!"
4. Fly & Land
15–25 minutes soaring silently over the Alps. Mountains at eye level, valleys below, complete freedom. Then a soft landing on a meadow — and an unforgettable memory.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is tandem paragliding safe?
Yes. Our pilots are DHV-certified (German Hang Gliding Association) with years of experience. Every paraglider has a rescue parachute system, and we only fly in safe weather conditions. If conditions aren't right, we reschedule for free.
Do I need any experience?
None at all. Your pilot handles everything — takeoff, flying, and landing. You just need to take a few steps at the start and enjoy the view. We fly with complete beginners every day.
Is 90 minutes from Munich worth the drive?
Absolutely. You're trading a short drive for a flight from 1,838 metres with 890 metres of height difference and views to the Zugspitze. There's nothing like it closer to Munich. Most guests make a day trip out of it and love the drive through the Allgäu countryside.
What should I wear?
Sturdy shoes (hiking boots or trainers), comfortable clothes in layers, and a jacket. We provide the helmet and all safety gear. Bring sunglasses with a strap if you have them.
Can I take photos during the flight?
Yes! Your pilot can carry a GoPro camera (€35 for photos and video). You can also bring your own phone with a secure wrist strap.
