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.

I booked 3 flights for my two sons and myself. The instructor did not know that the right cable car was not in operation. Therefore my sons had to walk half an hour with all the heavy flightgear to the place of departure. Due to that I could not make any pictures of my sons at their departure. My own flight was canceled due to the changing weather conditions. Apparently I had to fill in a form to cancel my flight. They did not tell me in advance. I paid CHF 180 for my own flight, did not fly and did not receive my money back.
