Most paragliding flights end after 15 minutes. This tandem paragliding adventure more than doubles that, thanks to the warm thermals that make this Swiss valley world-famous. You'll kick things off with a scenic bus ride to Beatenberg, where your professional pilot straps you in and runs through a safety briefing. Then, jog a few paces, hop off a grassy slope, and float 800 meters (2,600 feet) above turquoise Lake Thun beneath the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. No experience needed.

Itinerary

Your tour begins in Interlaken

Meet your pilot at the check-in desk on Höheweg 125, just steps from the Interlaken train station. Feel the adrenaline start to kick in as you confirm your booking and hop on a comfortable bus heading up to the launch site.

Wind your way up to Beatenberg

Relax on the coach as it makes the 20-minute climb up the mountainside. Marvel as the road winds through pine forest and alpine meadows and Lake Thun shimmers far below in turquoise.

Strap in and prepare for liftoff

At the launch site, your professional pilot clips you into the harness and walks you through every step of takeoff and landing. Your heart races as you picture running a few paces down the slope before the canopy lifts you.

Sprint off the alpine slope into open sky

Heart pounding, you bound forward in long strides, then suddenly your feet leave the earth. The wing fills with air and pulls you off the grassy hillside as Interlaken's rooftops drop away below in dizzying perspective.

Soar above the Jungfrau peaks and lakes

Float 800 meters above the valley as your pilot rides thermal updrafts that double your time in the air. Three legendary peaks rise before you: the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, with Lakes Brienz and Thun shining below.

Glide down to a soft landing in Interlaken

After 30 to 40 minutes aloft, the wing curves gently toward a grassy field in the heart of town. Feel your stomach settle as your pilot lines up the descent and your feet meet solid ground in one smooth step.

Your tour ends where it began

Still buzzing from the flight, you can view photos and videos your pilot captured mid-air on a tablet and bring any home as a keepsake. From there, it's a short walk back to the check-in desk where your day began.
