Paragliding at Kronplatz

Paragliding at Kronplatz

A bird's eye view of the Val Pusteria

The sport of flying is a time-honored tradition on the Plan de Corones-Kronplatz.  The mountain is centrally located in the Val Pusteria-Pustertal valley and can easily be reached by cable car. Paragliders love the excellent flying conditions and the fantastic panorama view – on one side, the Dolomites; on the other, the main ridge of the Alps.  The beauty of this sport is that you absolutely do not have to master it by yourself. Tandem pilots are happy to take command and handle nearly everything by themselves. It is sufficient to run along a few meters at the takeoff and landing, and otherwise to just float in the air high above the Val Pusteria.

WEATHER STATION
Tandem flights

Who doesn’t dream of gliding through the sky like a bird? Marvelling at the impressive Pustertal Valley views turns flying into an even more spectacular experience.
A tandem paragliding flight doesn’t require sportiness or previous knowledge. From the top of Mount Kronplatz (2275 m), which can be conveniently reached by cable car, trained paragliding experts will take you on an unforgettable journey across the unique landscapes of the Pustertal Valley, high up above the trees.
