Use thermals, stay up longer, and experience the real freedom of tandem paragliding on Mt. Pilatus above Lake Lucerne.
Looking for more than a short scenic glide? The Eagle Flight is built for people who want an actual flying experience. With 20–35 minutes in the air, there’s time to do more than just float straight to the landing field.
Your pilot will actively look for thermals and lift to gain altitude and extend the flight. Depending on the conditions, you can:
enjoy the panorama longer,
take the controls for a short time (guided, step-by-step),
add a few aerobatic manoeuvres if you’re keen,
and sometimes even glide toward nearby ridges and peaks.
Because paragliding is weather- and wind-dependent, the exact route and flight time always depend on the day. The goal is simple: get the most out of the conditions—safely.
If your schedule changes (or the forecast does), you can reschedule easily online up to 48 hours before. That keeps your trip flexible.
If everything runs perfectly smoothly — no queues, quick logistics, and ideal wind right away — the whole experience can be surprisingly fast. In that best-case scenario, from meeting in Kriens to landing in Kriens, it might take as little as 1h45 minutes.
But for planning your day, please allow up to 3 hours. Paragliding is weather- and wind-dependent, and we prefer to wait for the right cycle rather than rush into “good enough”. That way you’re not under time pressure, and we can handle any delays calmly and safely.
