Operated by AlpinAir Paragliding · Interlaken, Bern
Perched between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz in the heart of Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland lies Interlaken, a vibrant hub for alpine adventure. From here, AlpinAir Paragliding invites thrill-seekers to take to the skies on a tandem paragliding flight that reveals a breathtaking panorama of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau massif. This signature experience launches from Beatenberg, a high plateau at 1,350 meters, providing a perfect vantage point for soaring above one of Europe’s most iconic mountain landscapes.
The trip begins with a scenic 20-minute van ride from Interlaken to the takeoff site at Beatenberg-Amisbühl. Upon arrival, a brief walk carries you to the launch area where licensed, friendly professionals handle all the technical details, ensuring that safety is paramount. Once airborne, you’ll glide gently downward toward Interlaken itself, descending from 4,400 feet to about 1,870 feet in a 10 to 20-minute flight that blends adrenaline with quiet moments of awe.
The area’s geological character is defined by soaring peaks carved from sedimentary limestone and glacial activity, with the towering North Face of the Eiger standing as a rugged sentinel visible throughout the flight. The lakes below reflect these dramatic forms, while alpine forests and meadows stretch along the valley floors—a living, changing mosaic of vegetation that shifts with the seasons.
AlpinAir’s commitment to quality service is evident in their inclusive approach: transport from Interlaken, insurance, and expert pilots are all part of the package. This accessibility makes the Swiss Alps’ grandeur available even to first-timers or families, as young as five years old with consent.
Year-round operation slots the experience into every season’s rhythms—from vibrant spring greenery to crisp winter whites—making it a standout outdoor activity in this celebrated alpine playground. For visitors seeking a fresh perspective on Swiss mountain beauty, AlpinAir Paragliding delivers a flight that’s both exhilarating and profoundly scenic.
