frequently asked questions
Do you cater for non-flying partners?
Non-flying partners are very welcome and there is lots of stuff keep the family entertained whilst you're out flying all day. The cost of accommodating your partner or friend is only the price of accommodation in that area, around 25 - 35euros per night.
Bassano is particularly great for those with wives who like to shop. The area has many outlet stores from well-known brands.
How much does it cost to get up the mountain?
A one-way ticket for the Penken in Mayrhofen is around 8euros. A "10 point card" can be purchased for a discount, this includes the Ahorn cable car too.
Rides up to Melchboden for the XC course in Spring are around 6euros.
A one-way trip up to the Hintertux Glacier is around 21euros for the 3 Cable cars that take you to 3250m.
For the Dolomites XC Tour in Autumn there is the possibility of buying a 6 day lift ticket for around 30euros.
Transport to launch in Bassano is included in the price, however if pilots land early on an XC route there is a chance to use shuttle service to launch for 5euros per trip.
Is there a refund if bad weather?
There is no refund due to bad weather as the weather out of anyone's control. However in the unlikely event that the week is totally unflyable over the whole alps (Bassano not an option either) then we'll offer a reduced price on a course in the future.
Is there a single room supplement?
There could be a single room supplement on weeks in the high season here, July and August. This is due to the demand for single rooms goes up and therefore the price. The cost of this is 40Euros per week.
What shall I bring with me?
Please bring with you your insurance details plus BHPA or governing body's Paragliding license. We check on the first day that all pilots flying with us have repatriation and 3rd party insurance.
What other activities are available if not flyable?
There are heaps of activities to keep you busy should it become wet or windy.
Rafting, Hydro Speeding, Canyoning, Hiking, Mountain Biking, Climbing wall & Swimming pool and Wellness Spas. There are many mountain huts which I like to hike up to when not flyable. And of course there are lots of superb restaurants around town.
