Voucher / booking
4.9 / 5

In ideal conditions, you can even fly into the sunset and admire the city of Zurich from above. For that special "kick", your paragliding tandem pilot will also be happy to show you some fast-paced maneuvers - but only at your request, of course.

Make your flight unforgettable and order the photo or video option at the same time. Your pilot will take photos for you during the flight and, by arrangement, also record video footage with a special camera.

The Experience

All year round, when the wind is right

? More info
Paragliding at Üetliberg is possible year-round, and in the summer months, even in the evenings. Since favorable winds from the northeast are required, flights can only be planned on short notice. Your pilot will contact you after you sign up as soon as favorable weather conditions are in sight. Therefore, some flexibility in scheduling is necessary for this recreational flight. The entire experience takes about 3 hours.

Highlights

I was able to experience a fantastic and mega cool day. Despite initial skepticism from the paraglider pilot, Daro Flückier, we caught good thermals and winds. We spent an hour at an altitude of almost 1,100 meters above sea level over the city and region of Zurich, up close and yet far away from the top of the Uetliberg, we could almost have grabbed the top of the transmission mast with our hands if we wanted to.
The climb was a bit arduous, but it was 100 percent worth it and we were richly rewarded. I was also skeptical at first whether we would really take off, whether I was following Daro's instructions correctly.
But Daro radiated such calm and confidence that I wasn't afraid or uncomfortable for a minute.
The action sequence at the end of the flight experience was also great. All thumbs up and a big thank you for the skill and professionalism of Daro Flückiger. I can recommend him to everyone as a paraglider tandem pilot and hope to fly with him again from the Rigi or the Pilatus.

Flight was from Titlis, because the wind in Zurich did not play along.

Was a great flight, with everything you could wish for, a little steering yourself, spitals in the air for landing, long time in the air, sympathetic pilot (Marco)

I was able to enjoy an incredible flight.
Not only did we fly right up to the antenna on the Üetliberg, but the flight over the city almost as far as Bellevue was simply brilliant.
The support was super and I felt very comfortable and extremely well looked after at all times.

Many thanks

A unique experience! Hovering like a bird over the Üetliberg with the confidence that Chrigel has it fully under control and nothing can happen.

It was a great experience! Always had a safe and good feeling. Wonderful view of the city of Zurich and Lake Zurich. I really enjoyed it and am happy to recommend the flight to others. Many thanks also to the pilot Chrigel Furrer.
