Located in the Ötztal region of Austria, this paragliding site offers an elevation of 1588 meters with a height difference of 520 meters, making it an easy spot for beginners. In the afternoon, you can enjoy some thermal soaring. There are various hike & fly alternatives on the mountain, with possibilities for cross-country flights. Despite the Ötztal region boasting several peaks over 3000 meters, launch sites are generally hard to access. However, the Umhausen-Niederthai flying area is an exception, allowing you to lay out your wing right next to your car. Although the height difference of around 600 meters may not be impressive, the thermals from midday onwards will help you gain altitude.
