Adlerhorst and Airrofan in the Rofan

• Adlerhorst is a panoramic viewing platform on Gschöllkopf in the Rofan mountains.
• It lies at about 2,040 metres.
• The platform is designed as an eagle’s nest and offers views in all directions.
• The Airrofan is a separate sky glider on the same mountain.
• Its route starts at Gschöllkopf and runs downhill.
• The flight operates only in suitable weather.

Adlerhorst and AIRROFAN offer two different experiences in the Rofan mountains. Adlerhorst is a destination for views across the surrounding mountains: the circular platform is designed like an eagle’s nest and opens up views in several directions. It is part of the Rofan cable car area above Maurach on Lake Achensee. Visitors who prefer to keep their feet on solid ground can treat it as a scenic stop without using the flight attraction.

The Airrofan, by contrast, is an eagle-shaped sky glider. The ride is guided along a cable structure and carries passengers downhill from Gschöllkopf. The start is at about 2,040 metres. The installation is approximately 600 metres long, descends around 200 metres and can reach speeds of up to 80 kilometres per hour. These figures describe the facility; an individual ride depends on operating conditions. The attraction is intended for people comfortable with a fast ride.

The cable car takes visitors to the higher area. AIRROFAN is a separate sky glider from the Adlerhorst viewpoint; it operates in summer, in suitable weather, from 09:00 to 16:15. Riders must be at least 10 years old and at least 1.30 metres tall; both minimums apply. Wind, visibility and other conditions can prevent a flight.

As a viewpoint open to visitors only in summer, Adlerhorst also offers a mountain visit to people who skip the sky glider. Depending on the season, views, short walks around the summit area and places to stop may be combined. Sturdy footwear and warm, windproof clothing are sensible, because mountain weather can feel different from conditions by the lake. For children, decide clearly whether the ride is appropriate; the decision need not be made under group pressure at the launch point. Adlerhorst remains a viewpoint, while the Airrofan is a separate optional activity.
