Paragliding Tandem Flight Locarno
With up to 2160 hours of sunshine a year, Ticino is Switzerland's sunniest region. Here you can fly over Locarno and Lake Maggiore with a tandem paraglider and experience Ticino from a unique and unforgettable perspective during this paragliding flight. Nature shows you waterfalls, valleys and seas of flowers from above, which makes for great moments. Thanks to the good thermal conditions, paragliding and long thermal flights are possible here.
You take off from Cimetta, Locarno's local mountain. Landing is near Ascona, directly on the lake. Depending on the wind conditions, you can also start your tandem paragliding flight on Monte Tamaro and then land in Monteceneri. We would be delighted to show you Ticino from a lofty height on a tandem paragliding flight.

Hi everyone,
The trip and the paragliding flight were perfect—very well organized, and the pilot was very confident, friendly, and competent! I’d love to do it again anytime! Best regards, Bruno

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.
