Paragliding Flight

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.

Wear what you would wear to hike – layered clothing and good shoes. No flip flops!

You may bring a small bag/handbag. If it is too large/heavy 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 after landing.

You may use a camera in-flight as long as it is a compact camera/GoPro and can be secured to you. No DSLRs, removable lenses or phones, for safety reasons. Your pilot will ensure the camera is safely attached to you.

Mountain weather is very changeable, and we cannot predict conditions in advance. We will contact you if we need to reschedule or cancel – make sure your phone number is correct and you have access to Whatsapp. This is the best way to keep in touch.

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.

The weight limit is 90kg / 200lbs. If you are taller than 178cm / 5’10 then the weight limit is 95kg / 210lbs. You must be fit and able to run with no mobility or medical issues.

Safety always comes first, and we reserve the right to cancel flights 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. 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

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

Photos and video are CHF 40.–, payable by cash or card. There is no need to book beforehand, you can check them out after the flight and decide if you would like them. Payment is by cash or card.

You’re also welcome to bring your own compact camera or GoPro – no phones or selfie sticks.

All day is beautiful to fly here! We suggest booking to make the flights fit in best with your plans for the day.

Two things to note – book towards the beginning of your trip, as then we have time to reschedule should we need to due to weather. And secondly, should you wish to try for Double Airtime, book after 11.00.

We meet at the meeting point in Mürren, then 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!

We land in Stechelberg, on the bottom of the Lauterbrunnen valley.

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 previous paragliding experience – it’s suitable for complete beginners.

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

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

If you have no pass, it is approx 12chf for a one-way ticket to Mürren.  We will fly you back down!

Do you have friends and family coming along to watch? We recommend that spectators wait at the landing field in Stechelberg, next to the Schilthornbahn cable car station, for the best view of the flight.

The best place to book and pay is on our website – right here.

Photos & videos can be paid by cash or card after the flight.

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

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!

In winter our take off is even higher, at Schilgrat; we take the chairlift with the skiers.

The flight time is approximately 12-20 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.
