Details
With us, you can experience what if feels like to fly - and all that in one of the most beautiful paragliding hotspots of Switzerland! The Niederbauen mountain is an ideal starting point for your flight because from here you can enjoy the breathtaking view of Lake Lucerne and the beautiful Alpine panorama.Tour programme- Meeting and Preparation:
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.
- After Landing:
The landing in Emmetten is just as smooth as the 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
