Tandem Paragliding over the Aletsch Arena - Basic

This relaxed tandem flight is the perfect introduction to the world of paragliding. High above the Aletsch arena and far away from all everyday problems you can enjoy the fresh mountain air as well as the peace and quiet. Your experienced tandem pilot will steer your paraglider safely down into the valley and make an unforgettable flight possible for you.

Tour programme
The meeting point is directly at our flight school in Fiesch, where you can also park your car for free. From there we take the cable car or the shuttle bus to get to the starting point. Depending on the flight conditions we fly from Fiescheralp, Riederalp or Bellwald. At the launch site, the pilot explains the procedure of the flight and prepares the equipment. Now you are ready to start. After a few quick steps, you are already in the air. Since you are sitting in front of the pilot on a tandem flight, you can now just sit back and enjoy the view over the Aletsch arena. Landing on the landing field at the flight school is completely uncomplicated with the help of the pilot. You run a few steps across the meadow until you come to a standstill and are back at the starting point where we met in the beginning.
