1. Weather in Stubai “Paragliding Edition”
Stubaital, embedded in the impressive backdrop of the Tyrolean Alps, is characterized by very changeable alpine climate, which decorates the region with different facets all year round.
The summer months bring pleasantly warm days that come from mild temperatures and a refreshing breeze (valley wind!). These weather conditions are ideal for paragliding or hiking and offer pilots a perfect environment to explore Stubaital from lofty heights.
Summer is the perfect time to go soaring at Elfer from midday onwards with NE wind and a fair amount of valley wind or to go up with thermals which turn up directly above the take off. The often clear summer skies until late in the evening/night and the pleasant night temperatures create ideal conditions to start early in the morning, especially from May to September to be at the summit already at sunrise. Hike&Fly enthusiasts know what we're talking about 😉
The Winter on the other hand, Stubaital is transforming due to the high altitude of over 1.000 meters to a fairytale land of snow and glitter. The mountains are covered with a thick blanket of snow that extends over the valleys, creating a picturesque backdrop that will also make the hearts of winter flyers beat faster.
Unique winter flights over snowy landscape offer a completely new perspective of the valley as the sun shines gently on the peaks and bathes the flight path in a warm light. Prevail in winter mostly calm flight conditions, which especially benefits beginners.
