The dates to note for this year’s Super Paragliding Testival are 30 May to 2 June 2019.

Pilots are invited to come along and test wings and harnesses (solo only – no tandem flights allowed at the event).

You can walk to the ski lifts from the landing field where the manufacturers’ stands will be set up, and where the Fliegerbar will be serving cold beer and weisswurst (white sausage); then fly from the north-facing mountain slope, known for its gentle thermals.
