What kind of individual packages do you offer?
The greater Interlaken Area provides plenty of options. Flights from Niederhorn and Breitlauenen are great alternatives to the standard Package. Niederhorn is especially interesting for morning flights, while Breitlauenen on the other side of the valley is ideal for summer evenings. But also Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald offer sensational paragliding spots and Mount Niesen offers a completely different perspectiv of Lake Thun and it's suroundings.
Are there any requirements to fly tandem?
You should be able to run for around 30 meters (100 feet) and way not more than 90 kg (200 lbs). For the flight make sure to
Wear adequate shoes (sports or hiking shoe are best)
Bring an extra layer, depending on weather conditions
Use sun protetion (glasses and sun screen)
How long does the flight take?
Flights from Beatenberg usually take between 10 and 20 minutes. The whole round trip takes between 60 and 75 minutes. It's always good to plan in some extra time. Paragliding is an outdoor sport and there is high dependency on weather. Sometimes we have to wait for the right launch conditions.
Individual flight arrangements can be made and can include additional airtime between 30 and 60 Minutes.

About me
My name is Denis and I started paragliding in the Rhine-Neckar region in 2008 and have since had the opportunity to experience many unforgettable flights in different countries. After arriving in my chosen home in the Bernese Oberland in 2018, I began tandem flying and completed my training in 2019. I consider myself very fortunate to be able to share my passion for paragliding with friends and guests from all corners of the world.
Like all licensed tandem pilots in Switzerland, I am certified and tested by the Swiss Hang Gliding Association (SHV). A click on the logo will take you to my profile on the SHV website.
