Paragliding & gliding
-------------------------

### Above it all in the heart of Upper Austria

Take off and widen your view - in 360° Alpenland, the sky becomes an adventure space. Paragliding and gliding combine tranquillity with excitement and show Upper Austria from a new perspective.

Take off with your glider all to yourself or together with experienced pilots from the flight school for a tandem flight. Below you lie striking peaks, alpine pastures and river valleys, above you only blue expanses and the sun. Regional flight schools and clubs ensure safety and thorough preparation - so you can concentrate fully on the moment.

Flying in the 360° Alps means feeling confidence, utilising the updraft and leaving everything behind for a while.
