Yes, we recommend booking early! Participant spots are limited and often fully booked days in advance, especially during the high season (June to September). Spontaneous last-minute bookings are sometimes possible – call us: +49 160 90 33 96 82.

Yes, of course! Simply book two flights for the same date (day and time), and you’ll fly together. Simultaneous flights are standard for us—we do this every day. Up to 4 people can fly at the same time per time slot. Larger groups fly one after the other in consecutive time slots.

Yes. Body weight must be between 30 and 90 kg. These limits are binding for safety and liability reasons and must be observed!

No legal age limit.
Minimum requirement: From 30 kg body weight (usually from 6-7 years old). Minors require a declaration of consent from their legal guardians.
Seniors: The proven age limit is 75 years. It is also possible beyond that if you are in good physical shape – please send us a short video via WhatsApp beforehand showing the person running or jogging.

No, no prior experience is required. Your experienced pilot takes over the complete control. Before takeoff, you will receive a detailed briefing on how to behave during takeoff and landing.

No, you don’t have to be an athlete, but a healthy physical condition is a requirement. The takeoff process requires some core tension when inflating the wing, as well as a short, dynamic run downhill to accelerate the paraglider to the necessary takeoff speed. Your pilot takes care of the rest.

That depends on the type of disability. It is important that you are able to run a few steps at the start. Please contact us in advance—we’ll discuss individually with you whether and how a tandem flight is possible. A short video via WhatsApp helps us with the assessment.

Plan about 90 minutes for the entire experience (meeting point, ascent, preparation, flight, photo/video transfer). The actual flight time is 15-30 minutes, or longer in good thermal conditions.

Very safe. Your safety is our top priority:

• Experienced pilots: Our tandem flights are conducted by state-certified, full-time tandem pilots with years of experience.
• Weather dependency: We fly exclusively in safe wind and weather conditions. In case of unsuitable weather, your flight will be rescheduled.
• State-of-the-art technology: Our flight equipment is state-of-the-art and subject to strict controls and inspections.
• Safety reserves: The paraglider is designed to remain stable even in turbulent conditions. An emergency rescue system is integrated into every harness.
• Liability insurance included: You are insured according to legal regulations during your tandem flight.

Yes! Most of our guests who are afraid of heights are surprised: after takeoff, the uneasy feeling disappears. Paragliding lacks the direct reference to the ground—unlike on a tower, there’s no vertigo. You sit securely in the harness, and many even find it very relaxing.

Clothing: Weather-appropriate outdoor clothing using the layering principle, warm upper body (mid-layer + windbreaker).
Shoes: Sturdy sneakers or ankle-high hiking boots (free rental shoes available).
Recommended: Sunglasses and gloves (even in summer due to the wind chill effect).

Takeoff is teamwork! Together, we inflate the wing with strong steps. On the command “START!”, we accelerate with determined running steps downhill. After a few steps, the paraglider takes off – and suddenly your feet are floating freely in the air!

The landing is gentle and uncomplicated – either standing (with a few steps to run it out) or sitting in the harness. Your pilot will give you the command in good time. The landing takes place directly in front of our base at the Tegelberg landing site.

The Tegelberg takeoff site is at 1,720 meters altitude. Depending on thermals and conditions, you will fly between 500 and 2,000 meters above the terrain – with spectacular views of Neuschwanstein Castle, Lake Forggensee, and the Alpine panorama.

No. Dizziness does not occur during paragliding because the movement is gentle and continuous, and there is no direct connection to the ground. You sit comfortably in the harness like in an armchair.

Yes. The legally required tandem liability insurance is included in the flight price. You are insured during the entire flight.

At our Fly Royal Base at the Tegelberg landing site (meeting point), you can store your luggage safely and free of charge. We will keep it for you during the flight. Backpacks and bulky items cannot be taken into the air.

Meeting point at the takeoff site: Yes, by arrangement, we are happy to meet you directly at the top at the takeoff site. Please contact us at least one day in advance for this.

Note on luggage: There is no room for backpacks or hiking poles in the paraglider. You must arrange to get these down to the valley yourself. You can store your luggage safely at our Landing Bar.

Yes! We recommend the Fly Royal Base & Landing Bar at the landing site – with music, cold drinks, deck chairs, and a perfect view of the entire flying area. Here you can film the landing perfectly. Accompanying persons must take the regular cable car to the takeoff site (waiting times up to 1 hour in high season).

Public Transport: Bus lines 73 and 78 from Füssen to the “Schwangau Tegelbergbahn” stop (2-minute walk to the meeting point).

Yes, with preparation. We recommend morning appointments (gentle air), motion sickness tablets 30 minutes before the flight, and a light meal beforehand. Inform your pilot about your sensitivity – they will adjust the flying style accordingly.

Flights take place from April to October. There are no flight operations from November to March (winter break). Please book early during the high season (June–September)!

Spring: Strongest thermics, often high-reaching updrafts
Summer: Good chances for flyable conditions with mild temperatures
Autumn: More stable air masses, often particularly clear long-distance views

Your choice: Enjoyment or Action?

Mornings (Gentle & Calm)
The best time for connoisseurs and passengers who prefer a relaxed approach. With usually low wind speeds, you glide through calm air – the movements of the wing are minimal.

Afternoons (Thermals & Dynamics)
The “active” time of day. Thermal updrafts often allow for extended flights and provide a sporty flight feeling – combined with more dynamics and movement.

Yes! That is the highlight of the flight. You enjoy a unique bird’s-eye view of Neuschwanstein Castle, Hohenschwangau, Lake Forggensee, Lake Alpsee, and the Bavarian Alpine foothills – views that are not accessible on foot.

Absolutely! Whether it’s a relaxed panoramic flight, a sporty thermal flight with altitude gain, or an action flight with maneuvers (wingovers, steep spirals) – your pilot will adapt the flight individually to your wishes. Just mention it before or during the flight.

Vouchers are valid for over 3 years, are sent immediately by email as a PDF, and are fully transferable and flexibly redeemable. You can add a personalized dedication. Vouchers are available via our website and are redeemed online in the shopping cart during booking.

Yes, with restrictions. Smartphones and action cams are only allowed with a safety tether and after consultation with the pilot. We recommend our professional Photo & Video Service (€29–€49) – this way you have both hands free, can fully enjoy the flight, and still get high-quality memories.

Only after medical consultation. We have flown with pregnant passengers before, but you should definitely clarify this with your doctor beforehand. The final decision rests with you and your medical professional. If you have concerns, we recommend postponing the flight until after the pregnancy.

We are happy to help you with your unforgettable marriage proposal – during the flight or after landing. Upon request, we offer a complete arrangement at our Landing Bar at the Tegelberg landing site. Contact us via email or WhatsApp for suggestions.
