Paragliding Tandem Flight Switzerland

Paragliding Tandem Flight Switzerland
Lift off and enjoy a bird's-eye view of the world on a tandem paragliding flight. An experienced tandem pilot will take you on an unforgettable paragliding flight at your favorite spot in Switzerland.

Just two or three steps, and you’ll soar away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life into the blue sky on a tandem paragliding flight. Like a bird, you’ll circle high above fields, lakes, trees, and villages together with your pilot. And who knows—you might even encounter an eagle or a buzzard in the air that circles with you for a while. The birds dare to come within a few meters of the silently gliding tandem paraglider! Aerobatic maneuvers with noticeable G-forces are also possible during your paragliding flight. If you love roller coasters, you’ll certainly get your fill with paragliding. Of course, you can decide for yourself whether your pilot should make a few sharp turns or if you’d rather leisurely enjoy the scenery. And don’t be surprised if you dream about flying the following night...

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.

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.

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

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.
