Paragliding Tandem Flight Switzerland
Lose the ground beneath your feet and enjoy a bird's eye view of the world on a tandem paragliding flight. An experienced tandem flight pilot will take you on an unforgettable paragliding flight in your favorite place in Switzerland.
Just two or three steps and you will float away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life into the blue sky during a tandem paragliding flight. Like birds, you and your pilot circle high above fields, lakes, trees and villages. And who knows, you might even come across an eagle or buzzard in the air, which will do a few laps with you. The birds dare to come within a few meters of the silently gliding tandem paraglider! Aerobatic figures with a noticeable G-load are also possible during your paragliding flight. Those who love roller coasters will certainly not miss out on paragliding. Of course, you can decide for yourself whether you want your pilot to make a few fast turns or whether you want to enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace. And don't be surprised if you dream of flying the next night...
There are various tandem flights to choose from, which are carried out daily, weather permitting. Choose your favorite from our paragliding experiences and we will take care of the rest.
Fly with experienced pilots in the most beautiful flying areas of the Swiss Alps such as Emmetten and Rigi on Lake Lucerne in Central Switzerland, Interlaken, Kandersteg in the Bernese Oberland, the Pizol in Sarganserland, Flims Laax, Davos, Lenzerheide in Graubünden, Appenzell and many more. An experience at lofty heights that will show you new perspectives and will be remembered for a long time to come.

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.
Tanja17.04.2026
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.
Niclo Brodbeck21.10.2025
It was a very great experience! The pilot (Pesche) made a very professional impression on me and I felt very well looked after. The flight was more beautiful than I could have imagined and the maneuvers flown were extremely exciting to witness.

Paragliding - frequently asked questions
None at all. Your pilot will explain everything to you before take-off.
Normal fitness is completely sufficient. If you can run a few steps, you can also paraglide.
There is no minimum age for passenger flights. Until the age of majority, we only require the consent of a parent or guardian. We have special small tandem gliders available so that our youngest guests can also experience the fascination of flying. Please let us know when you register if you are under 50 kg. The minimum age for paragliding trial lesson is 15 years.
If you can ride a chairlift, you won't be afraid of paragliding either.
In summer: good, ankle-high shoes, light windbreaker or pullover
In winter: Good, ankle-high shoes, possibly skis by arrangement, warm jacket and trousers or ski suit, gloves.
At your request, your pilot will also take photos and/or videos with a special camera for a small extra charge.
Your pilot will be happy to let you take the controls in a quiet minute. If you are interested in paragliding, he will also be happy to answer your questions about equipment and training. With the paragliding trial lesson you fly a few meters above the ground and steer the paraglider yourself. Always with radio support from the instructor, of course.
We fly in the most beautiful areas of Switzerland. Here you can find an overview of the FlightBase centers.
Yes, we fly all year round. The thermal flight only takes place from April to August due to thermal conditions.
Paragliding is not considered a high-risk sport and is covered by the UVG in Switzerland. It is statistically much less dangerous than driving a car or horse riding. Students from abroad and people who are not gainfully employed must have their accident insurance confirm that paragliding is included.
Sure, we'll be happy to send you a voucher. Here you will find our order form.
The Panorama Paragliding Tandem Flight costs CHF 180.-, excluding cable car. The cable car can be added as an option when booking with a voucher or purchased directly at the mountain railways on-site.
Yes, paragliding flights are the perfect highlight for business or group outings. See Group excursions.
Our Panorama tandem flight lasts approx. 15 to 20 minutes. The thermal flight approx. 30 to 45 minutes. However, the flight time always depends on the current wind and weather conditions, as we fly without an engine.
The flight altitude depends on the one hand on the take-off altitude and on the other hand on the thermal updrafts. When thermal flight the pilot tries to climb with the warm updrafts to get above the take-off altitude. On good days this can be up to 3,000 m above sea level. However, the passenger can of course say if they do not want to fly that high. Such an altitude also depends on the day and can only be reached in optimal conditions.
We are happy to answer these personally.
