Paragliding Tandem Flight Emmetten Lake Lucerne


Paragliding tandem flight Emmetten Lucerne

Far away from the tourists from near and far, you can enjoy the view from lofty heights of the Queen of the Mountains: the Rigi. An impressive Alpine panorama, views of Lake Lucerne and Lucerne - an incomparable variety that is second to none. And wait until you see the spectacular view from the landing site!

The gondola lift takes you up from the Emmetten valley station, where we prepare for the tandem paragliding flight together in Niederbauen. You can already feel the first tingling sensation when you see the mountains and landscape. Once in the air, you simply enjoy the silence. Nothing distracts you from experiencing this postcard view with all your senses. But even when you land, your experience is not over: once you arrive on the sun terrace intoxicated by adrenaline, you can look out directly over Lake Lucerne. A tandem paragliding flight in Central Switzerland offers you one of the most beautiful views of Switzerland.

I went on a flight in Savognin with Dolf Müller.
He was very personable and friendly, and the flight was great.
I highly recommend him to everyone!

The day of the flight, August 3, 2926, was perfect, as were the equipment and, most notably, the excellent pilot (Yamina??).
However, I would like to note that we were surprised to have to pay the “group leader,” Dani, an additional SFR 30.00 for Leena Vanhala’s cable car ticket before the start of the trip at the lower station.
This was especially puzzling to me since I had read beforehand on the fare schedule posted for the cable car that a “round-trip fare” for an adult senior is 24.00 SFR; therefore, a one-way ticket for my wife should have been 12.00 SFR and not 30.00 as was demanded.

That was a truly amazing experience.

Professional service and support from start to finish. From the moment I was greeted until I said goodbye, I felt safe with Renato. Brief, clear instructions before takeoff and before landing. A long flight with great views. Just before landing, I almost needed a bag—and that was quickly provided, too. Luckily, I didn’t need it.

I wish you all the best and continued success!

It was a really cool experience, and the pilot was really great. I'd definitely fly with this flight school again or recommend it to others.

The pilot, Erwin Jörg, was very friendly. He told me a lot about paragliding and answered all my questions. Erwin has a great deal of experience in paragliding... he was actually there as a pioneer in the early days... an absolutely trustworthy tandem pilot.

Everything went very well except for the photos (that’s why only 4 stars instead of 5 ;-) Unfortunately, the memory card I brought for his GoPro camera was defective. I tried taking photos with my smartphone, but the results were unsatisfactory :-(

The flight experience was great! Perfect takeoff, cool glide, and a perfectly smooth landing. I highly recommend this event in Lenzerheide with pilot Erwin Jörg.
