Full description
After meeting at Grafenort Train Station close to Lucerne and easily reachable by public transport, drive together with the local partner to one of the best flight spots, depending on the weather, between Lucerne and Engelberg. Take the cable car up to the launch point, where you will receive a brief about the take-off and landing.
Once airborne, enjoy the feelings of freedom as you look over the spectacular environment below. Anyone who can run a few steps can fly can enjoy this experience ‑ even those with vertigo. You will be filmed and photographed so you can share the experience with friends and family later.
Paragliding is the most simple, direct, and beautiful way to fly. Play with gravity, nature and its elements with almost unbelievable simplicity as you fly on the sunny side of Engelberg in front of the breathtaking scenery and the glaciers of Mt. Titlis (3238m/10623 feet). Return to the city around 11:00 AM.

Know before you go
- Paragliding is NOT a risk sport. Depending on wind conditions, it is necessary to run a few steps in alpine terrain. This does not require any special physical requirements but a minimal sporting attitude.
- The pilot can not make the Earlybird flight with passengers heavier than 90kg/200lb because heavy load affect in higher take-off speed and in the morning there are usually little updraft. If you should be heavier please contact us for another flight type later in the day.
