F.A.Q.

In order to fly as a passenger, you do not need any prior knowledge. Before the flight, there is a simple instruction to start, fly, and land.

Good mountain/hiking shoes, or winter boots depending on the season.
Seasonal clothing.
Windproof jacket, long pants, sunglasses and gloves are recommended year-round.
Gift certificate if available.
Positive frame of mind.
For the cable car, don’t forget your Halbtax, Swisspass or GA if available!

Nobody is too young or too old! Passengers from 3 to 92 years have already flown with us. Children and teenagers under the age of 16 need parental permission.

For passengers less than 15 kg (33 lbs) or more than 100 kg (220 lbs), the individual case must be clarified to determine whether a tandem flight is possible.

Depending on the flight you book, we need between one and three hours to go up to the takeoff, prepare, and fly.

The flight ticket may be transferred to another person upon request.

On request, we can fly with groups of up to four people at the same time. Depending on the number of passengers, the group will fly in several turns.

Precipitation, fog or strong wind can postpone your tandem flight. If the paragliding flight can not be carried out, please contact us to arrange a new date.

Flight safety is a combination of experience, good equipment and prudent behavior of the pilot. In this you will be offered maximum safety!

The aircraft itself is exceptionally secure.

Paragliding in Switzerland is considered to be a non-risk sport, which means that the compulsory accident insurance covers the costs. If you do not have Swiss accident insurance, we offer you an accident insurance for CHF 20 for the paragliding flight. Please inform us when registering if you need an accident insurance. The tandem pilots’ liability insurance covers CHF 5,000,000.

Certainly. Our pilots are equipped with a special camera stick and shoot about 15 photos and a couple of videos during the paragliding flight. The pictures will be uploaded directly to your smartphone. The photo and video service costs CHF 40.

All tandem pilots are full-blood flyers and are officially licensed by the Swiss Hang Gliding And Paragliding Association. The pilots’ many years of experience guarantee maximum safety during the whole flight.

Shuttle costs, transport costs for trains, cable cars or other means of transport to the starting point are not included. In addition to the flight you can also pre-order the shuttle service and the cable car up the mountain, as well as the photo and video service.

The exact flight time depends on your booking and the weather. We try to fly for as long as possible.

We do not offer a pickup service anymore 🙁 The good news is: Most of our flying sites are easy to reach by public transport or by car.

Flying sites:

• Rigi: This is our main site. Beautiful ride up to the mountain with the cogwheel train and of course amazing flight.
• Zugerberg: See the city of Zug from a bird`s-eye-view! Here it is very easy to start and land but the flight can be short. Perfect spot for a nice evening thermal flight during the summer time.
• Rotenflue: Fly the Mythen! This is a great flying site with an easily accessible cable car.
• Urmiberg: nice flying spot with landing in Brunnen. Stunning lake view!
• Niederbauen: very good infrastructure, best view and calm air.
• Pilatus: See the city of Lucerne under your feet! Difficult takeoff.
• Fronalpstock: big mountain flying experience with nice view over the lake of Lucerne. Some walking involved to reach the takeoff.
• Valley of Engelberg: has very good infrastructure for paragliding and offers us the best protection if there are stronger winds in the region.
• Brunni (Engelberg): alpine views, good thermal flying.
• Üetliberg: See the city of Zürich under your feet! Üetliberg is clearly the closest flying site to Zürich. It works well if we have Bise (North – North East Wind). Difficult takeoff. Please note that we need to take a 30 min. steep hike to reach the starting area. We only fly from Üetliberg if the wind is perfect.
