Paragliding in Interlaken at a glance
Paragliding in Interlaken is usually a tandem flight: you fly attached to a qualified pilot who handles the glider. Interlaken is a well-known place for tandem paragliding in Switzerland, because the flight leads over valleys, lakes and mountains. Most trips follow the same pattern. You meet at a shop, get a safety briefing and equipment, ride to the launch site by bus and fly down.
The details below show what two tandem offers include and what a school that sells directly states about price, duration, age and weight. All prices are in Swiss francs (CHF).

How a tandem flight works
From the meeting point to the landing.
A tandem paragliding flight in Interlaken starts with a check-in at a meeting point in town. Your pilot gives you a safety briefing, and you receive the equipment. A bus takes the group to the launch site. One school that sells directly names a transfer of about 20 minutes to Beatenberg, and its whole experience takes about 1.5 hours. The flight itself lasts about 10 to 20 minutes. Interlaken tandem paragliding therefore needs a block of time, not just the minutes in the air.
Two tandem offers are listed for Interlaken with different meeting points. One starts at Alpenstrasse 2. It includes the flight, a qualified pilot, hiking boots, equipment and transport. The other starts at Höheweg 125. It includes a professional guide, transport from Interlaken to Beatenberg, a safety briefing and the use of the paragliding equipment. Read the description of the offer you book, because meeting point and details differ.
Prices and what is included
What the direct seller states and what the offers add.
If you ask what paragliding in Interlaken costs, the answer depends on the seller. One school that sells flights directly states a price from 190 CHF. It names optional photos and video for 40 CHF, a minimum age of 6 years and a body weight from 25 to 100 kg. These conditions belong to that seller and do not automatically apply to every school, so check age and weight in the description of the tour you book.
For the offer at Alpenstrasse 2, digital photos and videos are not part of the price and can be bought on site. For the offer at Höheweg 125, the description lists the guide, the transport, the safety briefing and the equipment. Tips and other extras are your own choice. Use the live prices in the list above for a paragliding Interlaken price comparison, and check the date you want.
| Offer | Meeting point | Included | Check before booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tandem flight with pilot | Alpenstrasse 2 | Flight, qualified pilot, hiking boots, equipment, transport | Photos and videos are bought on site |
| Tandem experience | Höheweg 125 | Guide, transport to Beatenberg, safety briefing, equipment | Meeting point and extras differ |
Weather and season
Flying depends on conditions in the air.
A flight can be cancelled because of the weather. The direct seller states that a cancellation can come at short notice, and that it offers a replacement date or a full refund if the flight does not take place. Ask the school you book with what its rule is, and keep your plans flexible. Do not book a flight for the last day of your trip or just before an early train.
This page gives no season dates, because the answer depends on the school and the day. Check the live availability in the list above and read the cancellation conditions before you pay. If you want to see the lakes from the air and the ground, our Interlaken guide covers the lake boats and Harder Kulm, and the Bernese Oberland guide shows the region below the flight.
More adrenaline in Interlaken
Other activities that start in town.
If one flight is not enough, Interlaken has other activities. A canyoning trip with a guide and full equipment starts at a base in Wilderswil. Its description lists the equipment, the guides and a drink afterwards, with changing rooms and hot showers at the base. You can read more on our tours page. For something on the water, a jetboat ride on Lake Brienz leaves from Bönigen and lasts 45 to 50 minutes. It is described on our Interlaken page.
