From what age can kids fly?
From 5 years, if your child weighs at least 20 kg. More important than age is that your child can run a few steps at take-off and actually wants to fly. There's no point pushing: if they don't want to, they don't fly.
For passengers under 18, we need the consent of a parent or guardian.
How the Kids flight works
It works the same way as for adults: meeting point in Bodensdorf, shuttle to the cable car, take-off on the Gerlitzen Alpe, landing on our own field by the lake. Our pilots fly calmly and patiently with kids and explain every step.
Parents can fly at the same time. With the Group flight for three or more people, you take off close together and land together.
Tips for parents
- Choose a calm time of day: the air is usually calmest in the morning
- Dress warmly: at take-off it's 10 to 15 degrees cooler than at the lake
- Eat and drink well beforehand, but not right before take-off
- Book early in your holiday, in case the weather means you need a backup day
- Pack swimming things: lake access and the lido are next to the landing field
