Ever thought of escaping the harsh realities of your earthly life? I bet and I hope you did! And if you are going to Zell am See this summer you might be able to just do that with a trip up in the Austrian Alps' skies. This great holiday town will be the perfect venue to take off to the heavens in order to admire the awe inspiring and breathtaking panoramic vistas that litter the Pinzgau region of Austria, thanks to a plethora of air and aviation activities. As always, when we mention air and aviation activities, it is hard not to think about adrenalin pumping sports.
Skydiving for instance! You'll be able to take on parachuting either on your own after a few training sessions, or with the help of an instructor who will make the 3500 metres drop strapped to you, ensuring thus that you reach our dear planet earth's ground safely. Either way, if you haven't jumped before, this experience will open your eyes to a completely different appreciation of life and maybe yourself.
Another adrenalin shooting sport at hand is paragliding. Again, two options are realisable, although you will have to undergo in any case a basic training course in before ascending to the skies. You can run off the local mountain slopes and up in the skies accompanied by an instructor; or after completion of a course, and if you still think you have the bottle for it, you can challenge the heavens all by yourself. Try picturing yourself, feet hanging into the nothingness, a scenic view unequaled and unrivaled in it is beauty, a bird's-eye panoramic view, the purity and freshness of the air enveloping your momentarily divine self. Such a liberating feeling that will have you look at the world in a totally different perspective.
For those who are not too keen on heart stopping, gut wrenching activities, they will still be able to find joy in the holiday resort town of Zell am See. They will also have the chance to admire the Pinzgau heavens, but in a more relaxed and traditional manner, in the comfort of a hot air balloon. The region which also hosts the BP Gas Alpine Balloon trophy at the end of January will without any doubt leave you awestruck by its enchanting and sublime 360 degrees spectacle.
The other option that will allow you to admire the paradisiacal region of Zell am See kaprun, will be by plane. Indeed, you can hire a small plane from the local Alpine Segelflugschule airfield that will fly over the area letting you peek at the thirty and plus peaks that litter the Pinzgau region, as well as the pristine nature covering the endless panorama. Not exactly a thrill seeking experience, but an definitely an awe inspiring one.
Of course for all of the above mentioned activities, you will have to book them in advance at the Alpine Segelflugschule airfield if you don't want to miss the chance to see the region in an unusual, exciting and thrilling way. Alternatively, you can visit MountVacation.com, where you will be able to book your Zell am See hotels as well as extract more information about the region and its activities.
