Tandem paragliding Tirol: I absolutely loved it and would do it again! Five stars! I did it in the winter spring transition season but still the temperature on that day was 0 degree C. The top of the mountain was covered fully with ice. I was not aware of the kind of shoes we use for this sort of activities and ended up with a regular running shoes. Peter was kind enough to offer me hiking shoes of my size. He was very good with communication as he has been doing this for more than a decade. It is important to do this with an experienced pilot and I was lucky to choose Peter. The flight experience was surreal and freaking cold. We had a long and perfect flight, however. If you have any doubts you can ask Peter even before making the trip. Enjoy the once in a lifetime experience if you are doing this for the first time! SRK

Our first day of 2023 was picture perfect!!we did the snowshoe hike ( with no previous experience… in fact, to be honest coming from South Africa, it was my first time seeing snow!!) Franco was unbelievable, and went way beyond what was expected, in making sure we ticked all the boxes in what we wanted to see and do. ✅make a snow angel in fresh powdery snow( he even brought extra waterproof mountaineering clothes to ensure I stayed dry).✅master walking in snowshoes( he was kitted out and clearly a master mountaineer, and made sure our safety was always first).✅postcard worthy photos of our winter wonderland. This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Austria, and although pricey, it was worth every cent !! I highly recommend this activity with Franco, do not miss out on a once in a lifetime experience ❄️❄️❄️

Excellent. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SNOW BOOTS AND SNOW SHOES/SPIKES. I hired mine in town before going. Couldn’t do this without them. The last cable car is 16:00 so time the walk appropriately. It took me 3hours for a round trip.

The most amazing Paragliding experience. Peter was great at explaining everything. I will definitely will do this again in the summer.

Truly enjoyed the dinner and show. The performers were enthusiastic and talented. It was a wonderful evening! I highly recommend.
