FLY KÖSSEN is the brand of the paragliding school Flugschule Kössen Gesellschaft m.b.H. in Kössen, Tyrol. The school operates on the Unterberghorn, where a cable car leaves a short walk to the take-offs, and has its own landing field next to the Fliegerbar. According to its own presentation it has operated since 1976.

Its course overview lists basic training with theory, practical exercises and first high flights, followed by a high-flight course with regular flights and all basic manoeuvres; together they lead to the A licence. According to its FAQ, the basic course usually takes five to ten days and the licence requires at least 40 high flights. Other courses named are the cross-country licence, tandem pilot training and instructor refresher training, but the site has no separate pages or dates for them.

The school also offers tandem flights from the Unterberghorn and runs a test centre with a shop where wings, harnesses and other equipment can be tried and bought. Training dates are arranged directly with the school.
