High-altitude tandem flight at the Elfer – the classic near Innsbruck
The high-altitude flight at the Elfer is our most booked tandem flight: take-off at around 1,800 m above Neustift in the Stubai Valley, 12 to 17 minutes in the air, landing on the big meadow in the valley. From €130 per person.
What to expect
This flight gives you time to settle in: after take-off you look down into the valley, then the view opens up towards the Stubai Glacier and the Kalkkögel peaks. Your pilot flies a few wide turns before heading in to land.
It's a good middle ground between a short glide and a long thermal flight. From Innsbruck you reach the meeting point in about half an hour.
- ~800 m of descent

Message on WhatsAppHow long does it take in total?
Allow about an hour: meeting, gondola ride, briefing, 12 to 17 minutes of flying and landing in the valley.
Elfer or Schlick – which high-altitude flight is better?
Both are great. The Elfer sits right above Neustift; at Schlick 2000 you take off a little higher – and in winter it is our first choice.
Can I book at short notice?
If there are free slots in the calendar, yes. For weekends and school holidays we recommend booking a few days ahead.
What happens in bad weather?
Safety comes first. If wind, rain or thunderstorms rule out a flight, we reschedule it free of charge.
What should I bring?
Sturdy ankle-high shoes, windproof jacket, long trousers, sunglasses – in winter also gloves and warm layers.
