Paragliding tandem flight thermal

Tandem paragliding thermals

Want to fly high? Then don't miss out on paragliding thermal flying. You'll circle like birds in the sun-warmed air and let yourself be carried up to the clouds. When the thermal conditions are optimal, you can also take short scenic flights over several peaks under the tandem paraglider. And all this silently and environmentally friendly without a motor.

From CHF 240
per person / photos and video CHF 40 / cable car 40

Implementation

High-altitude launch sites year-round

? More info
Thermal flying depends heavily on the sun-induced updrafts and therefore takes place primarily during the warmer months. On high mountains (such as Rigi, Pilatus, and Fronalpstock), thermal flying is possible year-round.

Flight type

Exclusive Flight on the Rise

? More info
You'll be flying alone with your instructor. The pilot will actively look for updrafts (thermal tubes) to help you gain altitude.

Cooking time: approx. 30–45 min.
Total time: approx. 2 hours

? More info
By soaring in the thermals, you’ll stay in the air significantly longer than on a standard sightseeing flight. If the minimum flight time of 30 minutes is not reached due to a lack of thermals, you will only be charged for the sightseeing flight.

Reschedule / Cancel

Up to 24 hours before the appointment:
; Flims/Laax region: 48 hours

I had a fantastic thermal flight with Renato. He was easygoing, informative, and trustworthy. I felt very comfortable and would do it again in a heartbeat. A great experience!

It was a great experience with the pilot Ivo Grünenfelder. He answered my questions competently and you could feel that he cares about the safety and well-being of the passenger. Ivo has absolute mastery of his aircraft, bravo..keep it up ;-) Unfortunately we didn't find any thermals so the flight was relatively short. But I received a new voucher for CHF 100 from Flightbase . I would like to thank the whole team behind it and wish you all the best. I can only recommend it, thank you.
