We meet at the bottom station of the Niederbauen mountain railway, which takes us to the large starting place in the grassland. During the preparations for take-off, the pilot will give you instructions for the departure, flight and landing and hand over the equipment.
- Start and Flight:
The take-off is simple: At the pilot's command you start running and after a few steps we will soon fly above the deep blue water. Then you sit back in your comfortable paraglider seat and enjoy the flight experience. You have your hands free to take pictures.

The landing in Emmetten is just as smooth as your take-off. If you have booked the option including photos and video, the pilot will copy the photos and video to your phone.Flight facts
