The 15 Best Mountain Paragliding Flights

1.Mürren: Paragliding over the Lauterbrunnen Valley

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 522 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $264Our pick

Meet Airtime Paragliding in Mürren, walk to the launch field, and run gently into the air with a professional pilot such as Marika, Leo, or Chris. You will glide above Schilthorn and the Lauterbrunnen Valley before landing beside the Schilthornbahn in Stechelberg. Jackets and shoes are available if needed.

“Really fun and well organized. We got into the air about 10 minutes after arriving at the launch site, and had about 20 minutes in the air. Felt safe. Quality of pictures and videos, which are available for purchase after activity, can really vary depending on your pilot. The company could get more consistent photo/video results by providing some standardized training to pilots ... but this is a nitpick and not really related to the excellent glide experience.”
