Tandem paragliding over the Lauterbrunnen Valley is one of the most iconic flights in Switzerland. With vertical cliffs, 72 waterfalls, alpine meadows, and postcard-perfect villages below, this is Swiss paragliding at its absolute best.
Our tandem paragliding flights take off from Mürren and glide directly over the Lauterbrunnen Valley — and while the scenery steals the show, safety is always the priority.
Here’s how we make every flight calm, controlled, and unforgettable.
Take Off From Mürren With Local Experts
All of our tandem paragliding flights from Mürren are flown by certified Swiss tandem pilots with extensive experience in the Lauterbrunnen Valley.
Flying here requires deep local knowledge:
- Steep cliff-lined terrain
- Valley wind cycles unique to Lauterbrunnen
- Alpine thermal patterns influenced by the Jungfrau regionOur pilots fly these routes regularly and understand exactly how the valley behaves throughout the day. When you fly with us, you’re in hands that know these mountains intimately.
Paragliding Equipment Designed for Alpine Valley Flights
We use modern, certified tandem paragliding equipment specifically suited for alpine environments like Mürren and Lauterbrunnen:
- Tandem wings with high passive safety
- Comfortable harnesses with back protection
- Reserve parachutes on every flight (yes – there IS a second parachute!)
All equipment is inspected before each flight and maintained according to Swiss safety regulations. If something doesn’t meet our standards, it doesn’t fly. Simple as that.
Weather Awareness in the Lauterbrunnen Valley
The Lauterbrunnen Valley is stunning — but conditons change very quickly here and it demands respect.
Before every tandem paragliding flight from Mürren, we carefully assess:
- Wind direction and strength inside the valley
- Thermal activity along the cliff faces
- Cloud development around Mürren and the Jungfrau massif
Alpine weather can change quickly, which is why we choose only stable, safe flying windows. If we delay or reschedule, it’s always in the interest of safety.
Easy Takeoff in Mürren, Smooth Landing in the Valley
First-time flyers are often surprised by how relaxed the experience is.
- Takeoff in Mürren involves a short, gentle run on a grassy slope
