As a club of gliding enthusiasts, we would like to enable others to share our fascination for this sport with us.

That’s why we offer to fly with us for a fee and experience the fascination of silent flying for yourself. You can also give such a flight as a gift.

One of our experienced pilots will take the controls. You will be towed to an altitude of approx. 2000m in one of our two-seater aircraft, so that the flight will normally last 45 minutes. The flight will take you to the beginning of the Alps, to the area around the Schneeberg and the Hohe Wand. After releasing from the tow plane, the weather will determine the rest of the flight. Depending on the conditions, you can circle under thermal clouds or perhaps take advantage of the rare slope wind on the Hohe Wand to gain further altitude. At the end of your flight, you will land back at Wiener Neustadt West airfield. If there is a possibility in your particular case and you feel like it, the flight may take a little longer. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee this.
