Extended airtime through thermals
The Thermikflug is designed for longer airtime: by using thermal updrafts the pilot gains altitude continuously, producing a flight that lasts significantly longer than a classic sightseeing hop.
Maximaler Höhengewinn above the Bavarian peaks
The use of thermals enables substantial height gain over the Brauneck area, offering expansive, high-elevation perspectives of the Bavarian Alps.
Optional freestyle-acrobatics on request
For those seeking an extra kick, the operator can include a freestyle acrobatics segment on request at no additional cost, adding a performance element to the thermalling experience.

Rather than a brief glide, the ride emphasizes steady altitude gain, prolonged time aloft, and panoramic observation of the Alpine ridgelines—an experience that combines the calm of soaring with the thrill of prolonged exposure to open air and expansive views.
