Paragliding Tandem Flight Eastern Switzerland Appenzell


Paragliding Tandem Flight Eastern Switzerland Appenzell

Eastern Switzerland and its Alpine region around the Säntis are ideal for a paragliding flight in Appenzell thanks to the extraordinary panorama. Accompanied by an experienced pilot on a tandem flight, you can experience this beautiful region with a huge panoramic view from a unique perspective. You can choose between a thermal / panoramic tandem paragliding flight or a paragliding flight with a private pilot.

Depending on the wind, the tandem paragliding flight starts on Ebenalp with a view of Wildkirchli and Seealpsee near Säntis, from Kronberg or Hoher Kasten. Among other things, enjoy the impressive view of the Säntis, the highest mountain in the Alpstein in eastern Switzerland. A paragliding flight in Eastern Switzerland can of course also be combined with skiing or hiking. The ride on the mountain railroad is an experience in itself. If you opt for a thermal paragliding flight, with a bit of luck you can enjoy the view of Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, France and Italy.

Reviews

Frequently asked questions about paragliding in Appenzell

We usually meet directly at the valley station of the respective mountain railway (e.g., in Wasserauen for the Ebenalp or in Brülisau for the Hoher Kasten). Your pilot will inform you of the exact meeting point when confirming your appointment.

Yes, absolutely! Appenzell offers fantastic excursion destinations for companions. They can easily take the cable car up and experience the launch up close – for example, at the famous Äscher (Ebenalp) or in the revolving restaurant (Hoher Kasten).

Yes, that's a great idea! After consulting with the pilot, the meeting point can also be moved directly to the launch site on the mountain. Please allow enough time to get there on time. Alternatively, you can also start in the valley after the flight and enjoy a hike.

Both mountains are fantastic. Ebenalp is the classic choice, offering views of Lake Seealp and Äscher. Hoher Kasten offers a modern 360° panorama of the Rhine Valley. However, the choice of mountain often depends primarily on the current wind direction on the day of the flight.
