Experience · Interlaken, Switzerland

Paragliding

You run three steps down an alpine meadow and then the ground simply resigns — tandem paragliding from Beatenberg, high above Interlaken, delivers ten to twenty minutes of soaring between the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau with two turquoise lakes below.

The experience

The pilot handles everything; your job is the running and the gawping. Ask for a morning flight for the smoothest air, or afternoon thermals if you fancy acrobatics. It is weather-dependent, so leave yourself a spare day.
