The Super Paragliding Testival 2022 is expected to welcome 3,000 pilots to Kössen in the Austrian Tyrol this weekend (26-29 May 2022) for a four-day festival of paragliding and testing gear.
Organiser Sepp Himberger said: “With over 3,000 pilots and more than 7,500 flights during past Super Paragliding Testivals the event undoubtedly enjoys a reputation in the international paragliding scene as one of the world’s largest air sports events.”
Most of the leading manufacturers will be there, allowing pilots to test fly the latest paragliders and harnesses.
