Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about your tandem paragliding flight at Brauneck – clear and concise.Getting There & Meeting Point
Where do we meet?
We meet at the ticket area at the valley station of the Brauneck cable car in Lenggries. Please arrive at least 10 minutes before the agreed time so we can take the gondola up to the summit together.
Preparation & Equipment
What should I wear for the tandem flight?
The higher we fly, the colder it gets. We recommend long pants, a sweater and a jacket as well as sunglasses against the wind. In spring and autumn, gloves are a good idea too. Most importantly: sturdy footwear – hiking, trekking or running shoes.
Can I bring luggage?
You basically only need warm clothing and your valuables. Small backpacks or handbags can be stored without any problem.
How spontaneous can I book a flight?
You can call us spontaneously at any time. With a bit of luck, we can schedule your tandem flight for the same day.

Is there an age limit?
There is no age limit. For underage passengers we require written consent from a parent or guardian. Regardless of age, you should be able to run 20 meters without stopping.

I’m afraid of heights – can I still fly?
Yes! We’ve flown many guests who are afraid of heights. Since we move through open air with no reference point like a cliff edge, fear of heights rarely plays a role in paragliding.
Am I insured during the tandem flight?
Yes. Every one of our pilots carries the legally required passenger liability insurance – you are fully covered on every flight.
Prices & Extras
Can I get photos and videos of the flight?
Yes! We provide the latest generation GoPro cameras and selfie sticks. You’ll receive the footage right after the flight – via cloud link or on a MicroSD card. The photo & video service costs €30 per person and is not included in the flight price.
Is the gondola ride included in the flight price?
No. The cable car ticket is not included in the flight price. The current price is approximately €14. Up-to-date information is available on the Brauneck cable car website.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We always try to find a replacement date for you. If that’s not possible, you’ll receive a 100% refund for any weather-related cancellation.
