Paragliding tandem flight Upper Valais
Welcome to the sunniest region of German-speaking Switzerland, Valais! Tandem paragliding in Valais is a rarity, as thermal flights can be booked here all year round. Not only will you be enchanted by the view of the mountain panorama, but often also by the weather. The mountains - including the world-famous Matterhorn and a further 21 four-thousand-metre peaks - regularly provide dry and warm weather. Ideal conditions for a paragliding tandem flight in Valais near Fiesch and Brig, especially for paragliding thermal flights.
With a bit of luck and good thermals, we have a magnificent view of the Aletsch Glacier after take-off. Provided you have skis or a snowboard with you, your paragliding flight starts at the Riederalp or Belalp mountain station at over 3,100 meters, otherwise at the middle station. You land in the valley at an altitude of 700 meters.
Paragliding Valais flight offer
The best way to combine your paragliding tandem flight in Valais with a day of skiing on the Belalp is to take a 45-minute paragliding flight to Brig in the evening. Of course, the impressive mountain panorama with the world-famous mountains is a highlight at any time of year! For all those who are booking a paragliding flight for the first time, we recommend the panoramic flight. All flight enthusiasts or people who have already completed a flight with a paraglider will be thrilled by the thermal flight will be thrilled. And if one flight is not enough, book a private pilot and get your money's worth.

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.
