“My husband’s favorite day of our 3 1/2 weeks in Europe this past summer was the tandem paragliding he did in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland.”

There isn’t one! We suggest a minimum age of 5 for kids, and there is NO upper age limit.
100kg / 220lbs. This is not absolutely set in stone, it can also be affected by flying conditions on the day, and body shape – the harness must fit you safely. Safety always comes first and, although we will try our best to take you flying, we do reserve the right to cancel flights if you are on or above the weight limit.
Wear what you would wear to hike. Layered clothing, and good shoes (no flip flops!).
