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.

Everything was absolutely fantastic! The paragliding flight was an incredible experience and perfectly organized. I’d especially like to give a shout-out to our instructor, Rolf—an absolutely amazing professional who was very calm and knowledgeable, yet also incredibly friendly. I felt safe the entire time and was able to just enjoy the flight. I’d do it again in a heartbeat! The Appenzell region is also simply beautiful and absolutely breathtaking—a true natural gem.

It was a truly memorable experience. A big thank you to pilot Fritz Fankhauser for his expert guidance and care (and also to co-pilot Peter Gempeler). He shared a wealth of knowledge and experience. The flight went smoothly and was very impressive. Fritz was completely attentive to my wishes (and how I was feeling during the flight).
I highly recommend both pilots.
Best regards,
Gustav Thoma

A highly recommended paragliding scenic flight with Renato. I was extremely satisfied and felt completely safe. Renato is a true professional, very experienced, and a great guy! The flight was a ton of fun and a fantastic experience. Thank you—I highly recommend it.

It was awesome. We had such a beautiful day. The flight was way easier than I expected. Patrick also answered a lot of my questions, and it was really interesting to learn all that. I highly recommend it.

I booked a tandem paragliding flight on very short notice, and everything went perfectly. It was my first time, even though I’m afraid of heights. The pilot did such a great job that I wasn’t scared at all. I was able to enjoy the flight to the fullest and would book another one in a heartbeat.
