YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

I am over 90 kg / 200 lbs, can I still participate?

Unfortunately not. We fly people with a body weight of min. 30 kg / 65 lbs – max. 90 kg / 200 lbs. There is no tolerance range, the weight limits must be observed!

What to consider with children?

We fly with children from a minimum body weight of 30 kg / 65 lbs. For passengers weighing less than 45 kg / 100 lbs, solely flight appointments before noon are suitable! Minors need the consent of a legal guardian (contract of carriage).

What's the age limit?

No minimum age; max. 75 years.

Do I have to be physically fit?

The launch requires physical agility and a few quick running steps on sloping terrain. You don’t have to be an athlete to do this – a basic level of fitness is enough. In the case of any health problems, please consult your doctor beforehand. In case of severe obesity or limitation of motion when running, participation is not possible.

Do flight dates have to be booked in advance?

Yes. We recommend booking as soon as possible, especially if you have a specific date in mind. The number of available places is limited and we sell out quickly. During the holidays from June until September, it is high season for us, with a waiting time of several days.

Can I fly with my partner at the same time?

Yes. Simultaneous flights for couples is daily business for us. If two flights are booked for the same date (day/time), they will take place simultaneously.

How long does a flight take?

The duration of a flight depends on the respective flight weather conditions (upwind/thermic) and the personal requirements of the passenger (body weight, tolerance). Our pilots always endeavor to realize the best possible flight experience, responding individually to your personal wishes.

What is included?

✓ Technical flight gear
✓ Rental shoes (if required)
✓ Liability insurance

✗ Cable car ticket (mountain ascent)
✗ Photo & Video Service (optional)

In which weather conditions do we fly and when not?

At FLY ROYAL, safety comes first! Hence we only fly in weather conditions where takeoff, flight and landing can be carried out safely. Whether the sun is shining or the sky is cloudy doesn’t matter. The wind must not be too strong and the wind direction must be right. When it’s raining or there is a risk of thunderstorms, we do not fly.

When is the best time of year to fly?

SPRING
The last snow combined with the blossoming of nature. Spring time comes with the most diverse views on our mountains and lakescape. The air is already very lively, which allows us extended thermic flights. Mostly holiday-free, spring offers those seeking peace and quiet the perfect time for a tandem flight.

SUMMER
The warmth of the sun in your face and a cool air stream stroking your skin. Now the thermal winds fully come alive und the skies are painted by many colourful paraglider. Due to the holidays June to September is our main and busiest season. Make sure to book your adventure as soon as possible!

AUTUMN
Surrounded by glowing autumn colours, we float through golden yellow light. Clouds and mist create magical moments in the sky. The mild sun, calm air and particularly smooth flying conditions make autumn flights an experience of pure pleasure. The holiday rush is over and things are moving more relaxed again.

WINTER
Our tandem flight season starts at the beginning of April and ends in mid-October. From November to March we don’t offer any flights.

When is the best time of day to fly?

There is no general answer to this question. After all, paragliding is an outdoor sport and therefore dependent on the weather. That applies not only to the feasibility of our flights, but also to the prevailing conditions in the air. In addition, the personal requirements and preferences of our passengers vary from person to person. As a general rule: In the morning the air is still calm and the winds are light, ensuring a relaxing flying experience. In the afternoon, the air usually becomes a lot more active, linked with more action and movement, that makes extended thermic flights feasible. For people of a lighter body weight <45 kg / <100 lbs and particularly motion-sensitive passengers, only morning flights are suitable!

What should I wear?

Outdoor clothing suitable for the weather: sturdy shoes, insulating mid-layer top, windproof jacket, gloves if necessary, sunglasses. If required, we will provide rental shoes free of charge.

I wear glasses, is that a problem?

That’s not a problem. We recommend wearing sunglasses.

What to do if I suffer motion sickness?

Do not fly with a full stomach! If you are aware of travel sickness we recommend taking a travel tablet in advance. Please communicate any feeling of discomfort prior or during the flight to your pilot.

Can I take my own camera?

Compact cameras, action cameras and smartphones can be carried along, as long as they are secured against falling. Before the flight this has to be discussed with the pilot in charge. Selfie sticks are not permitted! Here we recommend our PHOTO & VIDEO SERVICE.

Where can I store my luggage?

You can safely store your luggage at our station at the Tegelberg landing site (meeting point).

Will you Marry Me?

There are several ways to make a marriage proposal while tandem flying. We are happy to help you with the planning. Upon request, we will provide a complete arrangement for this special occasion. Just send us an e-mail and we will get back with some ideas.
