THE LANDSCAPE

Panoramic views of the Isartal and Bavarian Alps

The Genussflug places you high above the Isartal for a 360‑degree outlook on the surrounding alpine ridgelines and valleys — the principal visual payoff of this tandem experience.

THE EXPERIENCE

Comfortable, seated tandem flight

Flights are flown from a comfortable harness so you experience the freedom of the air while seated, able to converse with your pilot throughout the glide.

THE LAUNCH & LAND

Short hike, brief briefing, gentle takeoff and landing

The outing includes a short walk from the Brauneck bergstation, a 5–10 minute briefing on launch and landing, and a calm, safety‑focused takeoff and landing sequence.

What the day feels like

What the Genussflug Feels Like

The flow is compact and composed: meet at the Brauneck valley station, ride the cable car to the bergstation, walk a minute or two to the Brauneck summit, run through a short 5–10 minute briefing and preparations, and after a few quick steps you’re airborne for a relaxed 10–20 minute tandem flight before a safe landing at the designated Landeplatz in Lenggries.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this flight suits — and who should reconsider.

1
Day trippers & sightseersIdeal for visitors seeking a short, high‑impact aerial perspective: the whole activity is roughly one hour with a 10–20 minute flight, and includes a cable‑car ascent rather than a long approach.
2
Adventure seekersA direct, adrenaline‑tinged experience delivered in a relaxed format — brief run‑in, comfortable harness, and an opportunity to converse with your pilot during flight.
3
People with limited mobilityNotable because the outing includes a cable‑car ride, but participants should be able to manage a short 1–2 minute walk from the bergstation to the summit and follow the pilot’s safety briefing.
4
Families with older childrenSuitable for families if participants can meet the modest physical demands (short walk and participation in briefing); check operator FAQs for any age or other limits before booking.
