Tandem paragliding in Lucerne, Engelberg and the Engelberg Valley – your adventure in the Central Swiss Alps
Experience Central Switzerland from a bird's-eye view on an unforgettable tandem paragliding flight! Together with an experienced, professionally trained pilot, you will glide safely and silently through the air – with fantastic views of the impressive Alpine scenery and, when the visibility is clear, even of the sparkling Lake Lucerne.
Our take-off points are located in some of the most beautiful flying areas in the region, including Niederbauen (Emmetten), Brunni (Engelberg), Büelen, and Brändlen in the Engelberg Valley. The exact flight area is selected the evening before based on the weather conditions and will be communicated to you via email by 9:30 PM at the latest.
The effective flight time is about 10–20 minutes, depending on the thermal conditions. You should plan around 1 to 1.5 hours for the entire experience.
