Paragliding Tandem Flight Switzerland

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.

Paragliding - frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
