We are your model flying hotel in Austria – right in the heart of the mountains

Model & Slope Flying in the Hohe Tauern

When Christian – Sonja’s husband – talks about his passion, his eyes light up. For him, model and slope flying isn’t just a hobby, but pure fascination: technology, precision, and nature in perfect harmony. And because he truly knows his stuff, we can assure you – your model flying holiday in the Salzburg region will be an unforgettable experience.

Bring your loved ones along and enjoy wonderfully relaxing days with us at Hotel Gassner in Neukirchen am Großvenediger.

Slope Flying Area Stockenbaum

About a five-minute drive from Hotel Gassner, Gasthof Stockenbaum is a true flyer’s paradise. As soon as you step onto the field with its permanently mowed runway, your flyer’s heart will start beating faster. We are a partner hotel, which means that as our guest, you do not have to pay the €20.00/day flight fee. Feel free to take your time to look around and let us know if you have any questions.

Your model flying hotel in Austria's mountains has something for every kind of guest

The Perfect Match: Taking Off and Winding Down

While you’re up in the air, riding the thermals and soaking in the Hohe Tauern panorama from a unique perspective, your companion can fully relax: with wellness on over 1,200 m² in our Crystal & Garden SPA or on a guided hike through the Pinzgau mountains. 

In the evening, you’ll reunite – they, blissfully relaxed and full of mountain stories; you, exhilarated from endless updrafts. Together, you’ll enjoy a five-course gourmet dinner, reliving the day’s adventures and realizing one thing: sometimes, different passions make a shared holiday even more perfect.
