It strongly depends on starting point, weather conditions and season. In the Alps and under perfect conditions, a paraglider can reach heights of up to approx. 3500 m and sometimes up to 4000 m altitude. Splendid Ötztal (Tirol) is a popular paragliding area with good thermal currents at altitudes beyond 3000 meters. Even flights over the striking peak of Acherkogel (3007 m) in lower Ötztal are possible. But always be careful: Anyone who flies higher than 3300 m should definitely be familiar with the current aviation rules.
