Paragliding at the Elfer

The Elferbahn takes pilots quickly and comfortably up the mountain. The take-off and landing area are right next to the cable car stations.

The Elfer is very popular both as a training area and for sporty pilots. Here, flight schools offer courses for beginners and advanced pilots. The Stubaital has always been known in the flying scene for great flying conditions and unique thermals.

  • If a flight ban is announced via the cable car's loudspeaker system (e.g. due to weather conditions, helicopter approach, etc.), no new flights may be started and pilots in the air must transition to the landing approach.
  • No liability is accepted for the transport of flying equipment or for take-off, landing or flying accidents; nor for damage to third parties.
