At an elevation of 2190 meters, the Venet in Zams, Austria, is a popular paragliding site known for its strong thermals. These consistent updrafts make it an excellent spot for soaring and cross-country (XC) flights, although they can also be turbulent, making it a challenging location. The Venet is frequently used as a starting point for extensive routes, with common destinations including the Engadin, the Ötztal, and Vorarlberg. During the summer, the valley wind can be quite strong, and caution is advised during Föhn conditions. The Venet Bergbahnen cable car operates until 22:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the summer, allowing for sunset flights. For more information on the cable car, visit [Venet Bergbahnen](http://www.venet.at) or call (05442) 62663-14. Accommodation can be arranged through the Tourism Association of Zams: Tourismusverband Zams Hauptplatz 6 A-6511 Zams Tel.
