Great experience, may vary by pilot and wind

Really fun activity and absolutely gorgeous over the Interlaken valley. Felt safe at all times. Very easy to takeoff and land. I got lucky with my pilot, Timo, a really nice guy, catching an updraft and getting more time and acrobatics in flight. Of my family of four, we all had a good time. Flight patterns and length depend on the wind, but also on the pilot making an effort. My wife didn't get to go over the lake and mostly stayed close to the ground the entire flight. It wasn't quite as enjoyable for her.

Operator response

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback! 🪂😊 We’re delighted to hear that you and your family had a great time overall and that you enjoyed the spectacular views over the Interlaken valley. It’s also wonderful to know that you felt safe throughout the experience and appreciated how easy the takeoff and landing were. Timo will be especially happy to hear your kind words! Thank you as well for mentioning your wife's experience. Flight duration, route, and altitude are primarily determined by the weather conditions on the day, especially the availability of thermals and wind. While our pilots always do their very best to find lift and provide the best possible flight, nature doesn't always cooperate equally for every takeoff. Sometimes one pilot catches a thermal that allows for a longer flight, while another may not have the same opportunity just a few minutes later. We appreciate your understanding and are glad that your family enjoyed the experience overall. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome all four of you back to Interlaken one day, perhaps under even stronger thermal conditions, for another unforgettable flight over the Swiss Alps! 🌄✨🪂 Your Paragliding Interlaken Team

Gliding through the sky-smooth and enjoyable

Best experience! I was nervous about take off and landing but both were very easy and not intimidating at all. Start on a grass hill and land in a grass field. Smooth ride, very professional guides who have a ton of experience. The guide also took amazing video and photos. Highly recommend!!!

Amazing Canyoning Experience, but Extremely Disappointed by the Video Package I Received

Really dissappointed. Received edited footage without audio and captioning over my videos, and cutting off important monents, not the promised raw clips even when was told i couldnt use my secure go pro helmet . I’ll gladly update my review if resolved.

great experience

The whole process was extremely smooth and enjoyable end to end, from pickup and driving to the launch point, to landing and retrieving our stuff from the shop. My tandem pilot, Pascal, was really fun and upbeat. He did a great job at making me feel at ease while giving quite the adrenaline rush with the dives and swoops with the parachute. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Switzerland!

Our family of four went...

Our family of four went paragliding together. All of our pilots (Jero, Mat, Patrick, Krishna) were fantastic (and encouraging to those of us who had a bit of trepidation. 😁) The takeoff was easy, the ride itself was peaceful and views were breathtaking. You have a choice of “romantic” (peaceful) or crazy ride (flips) and my husband thoroughly enjoy his “crazy” ride while the rest of us were happy being “romantic”. 😂 I’d definitely get the photos/videos to remember the experience. 10/10 would recommend Paragliding Interlaken!

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! 🌟🪂 We’re delighted to hear that your family of four had such a memorable experience with us. Jero, Mat, Patrick, and Krishna will be thrilled to know they helped make everyone feel comfortable and encouraged, especially those with a little pre-flight trepidation! 😁 It’s great to hear that your family got to enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful, scenic "romantic" flight for some and an action-packed "crazy" ride for your husband! 😂 That’s one of the things we love about tandem paragliding: every flight can be tailored to exactly the experience each guest is looking for. We’re also glad you enjoyed the smooth takeoff, breathtaking views, and the photo/video package. Those memories are definitely worth taking home! 📸✨ Thank you for your 10/10 recommendation and for choosing to fly with us. We hope to welcome your family back to Interlaken for another unforgettable adventure above the Swiss Alps someday! 🌄🪂😊 Your Paragliding Interlaken Team
