Tandem paragliding thermals

Want to fly really high? Then you definitely shouldn't miss the Paragliding Thermal Flight. You'll circle like birds in the sun-warmed air, letting yourself be carried up to the clouds.

And all of this silently and environmentally friendly, without an engine.

The Experience

Thermal flying depends heavily on the sun-induced updrafts and therefore takes place primarily during the warmer months. On high mountains (such as Rigi, Pilatus, and Fronalpstock), thermal flying is possible year-round.

type of flight

Exclusive Flight on the Rise

? More info
You'll be flying alone with your instructor. The pilot will actively look for updrafts (thermal tubes) to help you gain altitude.

It was just amazing, and the two pilots were “awesome” too!!!!! I highly recommend it—even extending the validity of one of the gift certificates went off without a hitch. We were also able to change the flight date on the spot with the two pilots.

I had a fantastic thermal flight with Renato. It was relaxed, informative, and trustworthy. I felt very comfortable and would do it again in a heartbeat. A great experience!
