Flight: The Wall

Lauterbrunnen is one of the deepest U-Valleys in the Alpine World and famous for its outstanding natural beauty. The countless waterfalls, beautiful views of the car-free resorts of Wengen, Gimmelwald and Mürren, with glimpses of the James Bond Mountain; the Schilthorn and framed by the extensive awe-inspiring Jungfrau mountain range.

The flying time is approx 12-20 minutes, and the whole experience will take around 1 hour.

CHF 290.–

Flight: Double Airtime

The Double Airtime flight is exactly that – double the usual flying time! This is a thermic flight of 30-40 minutes (instead of 15-20 minutes) taking off in Murren; and is dependent on thermic conditions of the day.

To book a Double Airtime flight, simply book a “The Wall” flight on or after 12:00 – you will have the opportunity to upgrade to Double Airtime on the day. If conditions are good, you will land and pay the difference, if not, you will have enjoyed an epic Wall flight. You can’t lose!

Good to know

Your questions answered

We’ll be meeting in Mürren at our designated meeting point, conveniently located outside the cable car station. For detailed information about the meeting point, including how to get there, please refer to the ‘Meeting Point‘ section.

The cablecar journey to Murren is not included in the flight price but check your travel pass, as the journey may be covered.

We take a short walk to our take-off area (a 10 minute uphill walk from Mürren), where your pilot will provide a comprehensive briefing. There is no jumping and no cliff edge – you simply take a few running steps and the paraglider lifts you and your pilot into the air, where you will sit comfortably while soaring over the Alps!

There isn’t one! We suggest a minimum age of 5 for kids, and there is NO upper age limit.

90kg / 200lbs

If you are taller than 178cm / 5’10 and up to 95kg / 210lbs you may be able to fly. If in doubt please contact us via WhatsApp, call us directly on +41 (0)79 247 84 63 or send an email to info@airtime-paragliding.com.

Safety always comes first, and we do reserve the right to cancel flight if conditions deem it necessary.

By booking a flight you are stating that you conform to our rules; no refund is given if you are found to be over the limit on arrival.

You don’t need to be an athlete, but you do need to be able to take a few running steps to take off.

You cannot fly if you have back problems, hip/joint problems, mobility issues, broken bones or recent surgery.

Safety always comes first.

You don’t need any experience – you will be flying with a highly experienced pilot who will brief you throughly.

Wear what you would wear to hike. Layered clothing, and good shoes. Don’t show up in flip flops! You may bring a camera as long as it is a compact camera/GoPro and can be secured to you. No DSLRs, removable lenses or phones, for safety reasons. You may bring a bag if it is a small bag. If it is too large to fly with, you can simply send it down via cable car for a few francs (ask at the Schilthornbahn cablecar station for details), and collect it at landing!

The flight time is approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on thermic conditions. Our Double Airtime flight is just that – double the airtime, at 30-40 minutes. Our pilots are not restricted by time and endeavour to ensure the flight lasts as long as the conditions allow – normally longer than our minimum timings.

We take off in Mürren at 1650m, around 850 metres above our landing field in Stechelberg (800m); and we are able to soar much higher, using thermals, if conditions allow!

We land just next to the Schilthornbahn cablecar station, in Stechelberg.

If we cannot fly due to weather of course you don’t pay a thing.  If we cannot reschedule your flight for another time you will receive a full refund.

We have a 24 hour penalty-free cancellation policy. Cancellations made by guests within 24 hours of the flight time will be charged in full. Cancellations that Airtime makes due to weather are free of charge.

Just one person per pilot. We are not allowed to fly with more than one person at a time, regardless of the weight.

Your friends can watch! We suggest that spectators wait at the landing field in Stechelberg, next to the Schilthornbahn cable car station, for the best view of the flight.

Payment is made upon booking on our website.

Photos and video are 40CHF. There is no need to book beforehand, you can decide after the flight if you would like them and the pilot will give you a USB stick, or load them directly onto your phone (if compatible).

Mürren

We’ll be meeting in Mürren at our designated meeting point, conveniently located outside the cable car station:

When you arrive in Mürren, walk through the village (15 minute walk) and meet us at the Schilthornbahn cablecar station and meet us by the Airtime meeting point flag.

You can also get off at Winteregg and walk the last bit if you want (40min walk), or stay on the train until Mürren.
