Tirol, home to the world's first four person hang-glider ride

This winter, for the first time, visitors to the Serfaus, Fiss, Landis region of the Tirol will be able to ride on the world's first four seater hang-glider, taking its riders from an altitude of 1,900m, over a 700m flight, at a speed of 80km per hour, down to the Möseralm, a descent of 47m.

The "Fisser Flieger" is suspended from a 28mm steel rope, onto which 4 passengers (10 years old and over) are secured by `pilot jackets', which in turn are secured against the support frame with steel ropes, enabling passengers to fly down the valley together.

The "Fisser Flieger" "floats" at heights of between 8 and 47 metres above the ground giving the sensation of flying. The ride starts at the Möseralm valley station in Fiss, where all the flight preparations are made. The "Flieger" is then winched up at 40 km/h in the direction of the Kerbboden run. Once at `launching height', it's turned towards the valley where it `flies' down over the Möseralm at speeds of up to 80 km/h. A few minutes and a huge adrenalin rush later, guests land safely in the valley.

The ride operates throughout the year, with a schedule of night flights planned,
and costs 5,50 euros for adults and 4,00 euros for children. The combined package comprising of the ascent via the Möseralm cableway and a flight on the
"Fisser Flieger" with a descent to the valley, it costs 15,00 euros for adults
and 7,50 euros for children.
