What people are saying about Tyrol

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

Unforgettable tour! I would recommend everyone to book this tour. She has been the highlight of our trip so far. Special thanks to our tour guides - most of all to Milena. She was the best of them all. The tour was exciting, funny, there was a great atmosphere, it was varied, informative and I felt safe at all times. We also had a lot of fun in the group. I was unsure when booking because I read that it wasn't that adventurous. I can only disagree. Of course, the tour always depends on the water level - but the guides can't do anything about that. I would book them again every year. THANK YOU for this great day!

We had an amazing day with Peter, Hubi and Stepan, and we highly recommend flying with them. The day was very cloudy, but they reassured us that it would be a great flight if we delayed by a couple hours. They worked hard to make sure we had the most enjoyable and safest experience. Flying through the clouds and the mountains was thrilling and beautiful. We especially appreciated that they made extra efforts to help us get to and from the mountain, too. I hope to make it back to fly with them again!

Thank you very much for the great experience! My guide "Hubi" was incredibly personable, competent and trustworthy. I would book here again at any time and would love to come again! It was the most beautiful and greatest experience so far!

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