5.00Our guide, Marcel, was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we met him, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly reassuring. I was terrified of the takeoff, but he kept me calm and made me feel completely safe the entire time. He genuinely felt like an old friend, and you could tell that paragliding isn't just his job, it's his passion! The experience itself was life-changing. It's almost impossible to put into words what it feels like to soar over Mount Pilatus. For a few moments, it truly feels like you're a bird flying above one of the most beautiful places on Earth. No photo or video can fully capture it. Marcel contacted us on WhatsApp beforehand with clear instructions about where to meet. Everything was smooth and well organized. One thing to note: if you're a pair and only one guide is available, you'll fly one at a time. I had read this in previous reviews, so I knew what to expect and enjoyed exploring the neighborhood while waiting for my boyfriend's turn. There is also a lot to explore at the peak! This is easily one of the most memorable experiences of my life, and it's something I'll be talking about for years. If you're visiting Switzerland, don't miss it.

5.00Unforgettable experience for my boyfriend’s 30th birthday! The experience was breathtaking and so much fun. A huge shoutout to Marcel and Max. They gave us local tips on how to spend the rest of our day in Lucerne, and his recommendations were spot on. Definitely the highlight of our trip. If you’re in Lucerne, you have to do this!
Unforgettable Paragliding Experience!

5.00My family and I went, and as our first time paragliding we were blown away by the friendliness and experience the guides provided. They gave us ease not only on the ground but also in the air. The flight was unbelievable and it provided so many opportunities to have fun and see things from a point of view we never have before. We highly recommend this service and the people. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

5.00This was amazing!!!! Soooo much fun and so worth it! My only advice would be to reach out to them before booking any train/transportation as they vary where they fly from. There was a review on here that gave instructions on the trains to get to Engelberg so I followed that… only to be picked up in Lucerne (where I was staying).
