Paragliding Tandem Flight Emmetten Lake 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.
