 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sam and his team were the perfect choice for my family’s first paragliding experience! They were incredibly responsive, organized, and accommodating for our group of seven adults and three small children. They even arranged multiple flight groups so our kids were never left unattended, which was the most important request from us. The entire experience was surreal, fun, and unforgettable. I highly recommend this company to anyone considering paragliding, and we would absolutely fly with them again on a future trip!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dieser Tag war so aufregend, das ich zuerst einmal die Eindrücke verarbeiten musste. Ich kann nur sagen, dass es von A - Z super war. Die Piloten, bei mir war es Christian, sind absolute könner ihres Faches. Der Start ging einfacher als gedacht und der Flug war traumhaft. Die Landung war einfach und genau dort, wo wir gestartet sind. Mit anderen Worten, ich würde es wieder machen.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wunderbares, eindrückliches, Erlebnis. Ich muss noch sagen, dass ich eine kleine Behinderung habe, in dem mir vor 10 Jahren 1 Hüftgelenk entfernt werden musste. D.h.ich bin nur bedingt in der Lage, ein paar Meter zu springen. Doch mein Pilot (Sebastian) ein sehr erfahrener Pilot, zauberte einen mir möglichen Start hin und so ging es gleich beim ersten Versuch auf und los.....Da es mein erster Flug war, empfand ich den Start als eines der Highlights,.......schon beim ersten Anflug Richtung Radar, schafften wir es, rechts über dieses hinweg zu fliegen, da es genügend Aufwind hatte und dies so möglich machte. Danach steuerte Sebastian uns auf eine Höhe von geschätzt 2'500 M.ü.M. bevor wir dann noch Richtung Luzern wieder sanken. Trotz eher starkem Gegenwind, reichte es zum vorgesehenen Landeplatz. Doch bevor es soweit war, erlebte ich dann noch das Nr. 1 Highlight, indem wir auf einmal oben und der Schrim unten war. Das konnte ich erst am Boden sehen, auf den Fotos die Freunde gemacht hatten. Während des Fluges, war es mir nach kurzer Zeit nicht mehr möglich zu sagen, wo oben und unten war. Vielen, vielen Dank für das super, tolle, Ereignis.......ich bin mir sicher, dass ich das wiederholen werde........

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible venture! Sebastian was an amazing flyer with more than a decade worth of experience. I would highly recommend him for anyone. If you’re even questioning to book the experience do it!! Don’t let fear be your guidance:) The company was also very kind. Our flight was cut slightly short due to weather just not weathering so we were partially reimbursed. I also had messed my reservations up at first booking and tandemflug/paragliding Pilatus was quick to help and super understanding!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Noel was great. Highly communicative in advance of the flight, and was flexible to meet me earlier than the time we signed up for. He explained all safety protocols and was very thorough with checking the winds to make sure we’d have a safe flight. He also helped to keep me calm once in the air and made efforts to make sure I was comfortable and that we saw lots of things during our fight. Couldn’t recommend the experience more!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience! It was my first time paragliding, and I was very happy to do it with Sam. The team was calm, experienced, and made us feel safe and comfortable before take-off and in the air and gave me and my husband an unforgettable experience! If you ever dream of trying paragliding, Pilatus is probably one of the best places to do it!

Insights into tandem flying over Lucerne

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear for the flight?

It’s recommended to wear an extra layer of clothing – even if it feels warm on the ground. Due to the constant headwind of around 40 km/h, the wind chill during paragliding can make it feel much colder.

Long pants or leggings help protect the legs, especially in case of slipping at the launch site. Helmets and gloves are provided.

Most important: sturdy footwear with good grip.

Is paragliding safe?

Safety is the top priority. All flights are conducted by certified pilots with many years of experience. All equipment is regularly inspected and maintained to meet the highest safety standards.

A clear and thorough briefing is provided before every flight.
By focusing on a single flight area, local knowledge further helps minimize residual risks.

Paragliding with fear of heights – is it possible?

Yes – even people with a fear of heights often find paragliding surprisingly calming.
Unlike standing on a ledge, paragliding involves sitting securely in a harness and gliding gently through the air. The experience feels liberating rather than frightening.

Experienced pilots ensure a relaxed atmosphere, so the flight and the breathtaking views can be enjoyed with ease.
