Paragliding tandem flights in Central Switzerland
Have you ever dreamed of flying, soaring over the mountains and feeling the wind in your face? Follow the call of your dreams and take off from a beautiful mountain in the Swiss Alps with a pro tandem instructor from touch and go…! Our tandem pilots are happy to share their passion with you.
Your safety is our 1st priority
Flight safety is a combination of experience, good equipment and prudent pilot behavior. You will be offered maximum safety!
Paragliding in Switzerland is a non-risky sport. We only fly with modern paragliding equipment and with tandem pilots who are licensed by the Swiss Hang Gliding Association.
Our main meeting points can be reached quickly and easily from various Swiss cities - by car or train.
Paragliding passenger flights are our passion and a breathtaking experience – leave the ground beneath your feet and experience the world from a bird’s eye view. By booking a passenger flight, you can fly without any previous experience and make one of your dreams come true. We stand in the wind and take off slowly: two or three steps, the glider fills with air and we take off! Our passenger flights take place around Lake Lucerne, Lake Zug and Lake Lauerz, with a wonderful panoramic view of the mountains in the heart of Switzerland. Landing is as easy as taking off, we hover against the wind, take another two or three steps and we’re back on the ground. Passenger flights whisk you away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life into a beautiful landscape. Now you know why birds sing: they love to fly too.
Circling high above fields, trees, lakes and villages. Who knows, maybe we’ll meet our feathered friends in the air, who clearly feel at home around us. Soaring silently and making the most of nature – that’s paragliding! Central Switzerland has a unique location in the Swiss Alps for paragliding passenger flights.
To achieve a longer flight time, we need thermals, just like gliders. Thermals are more frequent and stronger in spring than in summer, fall and winter. When the sky is blue, there is usually not much going on or there is a foehn, which means we can’t fly! So don’t pay attention to the weather – book in good time! We always decide on the next day’s flights in the evening between 7 and 8 pm. We fly all year round!
Ideal for hikers and mountaineers. This type of paragliding is becoming increasingly popular and begins with a hike up to the starting point. Depending on the summit, the hike takes about 2-3 hours. Afterwards we rest and eat and then paraglide back down to the valley. Longer hikes are also available on request. Prices for these flights on request!
It’s very easy to fly with children and it’s a lot of fun. We have special equipment for paragliding flights with children. A declaration of consent must be signed by the parents/legal guardians.
Thanks to constant development, cross-country flights with a paraglider are also possible. The easiest routes to fly are in Valais, the Eldorado for paragliding! Ticino also has a lot to offer. Local starting points for paragliding flights are Engelberg, Flüelen, Fronalpstock and the Rigi. The best flying conditions are from April to the end of August, depending on the weather. The dates for such flights can only be arranged at short notice!

Safety is our top priority. We only fly with modern and certified paragliding equipment and with tandem pilots who are licensed by the Swiss Hang Gliding Association . Paragliding in Switzerland is considered a non-risk sport. However, we are flying in alpine terrain, so minor accidents such as slipping or stumbling during take-off cannot be ruled out. If your insurance does not cover such an accident, please inform us before the flight. The liability insurance of our tandem pilots covers CHF 5,000,000.
Call us the evening before the planned date between 7 and 8 p.m. to get information about the weather and meeting point. We are also happy to accept bookings at short notice, depending on availability.
You do not need any previous experience to fly as a passenger. Before the flight, there is a simple briefing on taking off, flying and landing.
Good mountain/hiking boots or winter boots depending on the season.
Seasonal clothing.
Windproof jacket, long pants, sunglasses and gloves are recommended all year round.
Gift voucher, if available.

No one is too young or too old! Passengers between the ages of 3 and 92 have flown with us. Children and young people under the age of 18 require a declaration of consent from their parents.
For passengers weighing less than 15 kg or more than 100 kg, it must be clarified on a case-by-case basis whether a tandem flight is possible.
Depending on which flight you book, it will take between one and three hours to get to take-off, prepare and fly.
The reserved flight can be transferred to another person on request.
On request, we can fly with larger groups at the same time, but this depends on the availability of the pilots. Depending on the number of passengers, the group will fly in several rounds. Please book early!
In the event of precipitation, fog or strong winds, your tandem flight will be postponed. Please contact us if the paragliding flight cannot take place to arrange a new date. If the flight cannot be carried out due to weather conditions and no postponement is possible, we will refund the costs in accordance with our terms and conditions.
Paragliding in Switzerland is considered a non-risk sport, which is why compulsory accident insurance covers the costs. If you do not have Swiss accident insurance, we can offer you accident insurance for your paragliding flight for CHF 20. Please inform us when you register if you need accident insurance. The liability insurance for tandem pilots covers CHF 5,000,000.
Of course. Our pilots are equipped with a special camera stick and take about 15 photos and a few videos during the paragliding flight. The pictures can be uploaded directly to your cell phone on request. The photo and video service costs CHF 40.
