To ensure your experience in the heart of the Alps runs smoothly, I will inform you the evening before (by 20:00) about the exact start time and the best meeting point in Engelberg.

Since safety and comfort are the top priorities for paragliding in Engelberg, the schedule may be adjusted according to the latest alpine wind and weather forecasts. In the message, you will also receive useful tips for getting there, so you can enjoy your trip without stress and start your paragliding adventure in Engelberg relaxed.

Your journey begins with a relaxed ride on the Engelberg mountain cable cars. Together we ascend toward the launch site – depending on the weather, either near Herzlisee at Brunni or Schonegg. Already during the ride you’ll enjoy spectacular views of the monastery village and the steep rock faces, the perfect start to your flight adventure.

You can easily buy your cable car ticket directly at the valley station. The ride takes only a few minutes and brings you close to the launch point, where your paragliding flight in Engelberg begins.

Once we arrive in the Engelberg mountain world, we take time for a relaxed and clear briefing. Right at the launch site, I explain the process step by step: how we start together with the Titlis as our backdrop, what to keep in mind during the tandem flight above the valley, and how we will land smoothly in Engelberg.

No prior experience is needed. Everything is explained in a simple way so you feel safe and comfortable from the very first moment. This careful preparation ensures that you can fully enjoy your tandem paragliding flight in Engelberg.

Your take-off in Engelberg requires just a few confident steps on the mountain meadow. Simply lean slightly forward into the harness while I control the paraglider behind you and guide us safely into the wind. After a moment, you’ll feel the ground disappear beneath your feet as we gently glide into the high alpine air.

This moment of lift-off with Mount Titlis as the backdrop is calm and completely free of stress. Many passengers are surprised by how smooth and natural the transition from the ground into the air feels. Once we are airborne, your real flying experience begins above the Engelberg valley and the majestic mountains of Central Switzerland.

Once we leave the ground, the vast panorama of the Engelberg Alps opens up before you. You glide directly in front of the impressive Titlis glacier and enjoy the view deep down into the green Engelberg valley. The rugged rock faces of Hahnen and the Spannort peaks lie beneath us as we move almost silently through the clear mountain air.

When thermals develop along the sunny mountain slopes, we can use these updrafts to climb higher – sometimes together with the alpine choughs circling above the valley. This makes your paragliding experience in Engelberg even more memorable.

You can lean back comfortably in the harness and enjoy the freedom of flight. The style of the flight depends entirely on how you feel: calm and smooth to take in the scenery, or a bit more dynamic for an extra adrenaline rush.

Your paragliding flight ends gently in the wide valley of Engelberg. As we descend the last meters, you’ll once again enjoy a unique view of the monastery village and the surrounding peaks. We head toward one of the spacious landing areas, usually just a short walk from the valley stations.

Shortly before landing, I will give you a quick instruction: you simply stand up in the harness and we run the last few steps together. Since the wind in the Engelberg valley is often steady, the landing usually feels as smooth as stepping off an escalator. With solid ground under your feet again, you can take a deep breath and reflect on the experience.

No, normal physical fitness is completely sufficient. A few quick steps during take-off and landing are all that’s required.

From children to seniors – anyone who can run a few meters can fly. Minors simply need written permission from their parents.

Safety comes first. If weather conditions are poor, we will reschedule the paragliding flight in Engelberg. If no alternative date is possible, you will receive a refund. Please also refer to the terms and conditions.

Plan for at least 1.5 hours. This includes the meeting point, the cable car ride, the briefing, the tandem flight, and reviewing and transferring the photos afterward.

Absolutely! Engelberg is a year-round destination. Winter tandem flights over the snow-covered landscape are especially calm and offer crystal-clear views.

It’s best to dress in layers. A windproof jacket and long pants are recommended, even in summer, as it’s cooler at higher altitudes

Passenger weight should generally be between 30 kg and 95 kg. Please let me know during booking if your weight is outside this range.

Hardly at all. Since we have no direct contact with the ground, the typical feeling of dizziness usually doesn’t occur.

No, the cable car ticket for the ascent is purchased separately at the valley station.
