This was the first time we did paragliding and despite the anticipated fear, we ended up wanting to do it again and again. The instructions from the pilots were clear and calming. I dreaded the take off but David, my pilot, was reassuring. Flo, my partner’s instructor, even asked her to try the manoeuvring. She was beyond ecstatic. During the flight, I could see that David wanted me to be at ease and enjoy the whole experience. I did not realise that he was actually totally right and I could have enjoyed it a bit more. The photos and videos were truly astonishing as well. Just to remind that we had to pay extra for the documentation. This is one of the activities one should not miss in Interlaken. It made our Switzerland trip absolutely worthwhile.

Definitely one for the books! You must try it if you love adventure. My pilot Chris Laser was very fun to be with. He really made me feel safe all the time. I really enjoyed my time up there. ☺️

Mattaius was amazing! Everyone was so helpful and the takeoff wasn’t as scary as I thought. They all made me feel very comfortable and excited, I would 10000% do again! Amazing views!

Very well organised, experienced pilots who also made the flight more fun. We had a great tine

Very nice experience, i like the crazy flighting at the end
