Mürren: Paragliding over the Lauterbrunnen Valley
Overview
Available languages
1 hour
Mobile ticket
Meet your professional Airtime Pilots in Mürren and hike to the take-off field where you will receive a briefing from your pilot. Then, simply take some running steps and be in the air in front of the mighty Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains... and over the spectacular Lauterbrunnen valley.
Soaring high above Mürren, witness the Lauterbrunnen valley open up below, with the sheer cliffs and waterfalls seeming close enough to touch as you glide past them like a bird on a tandem paraglide.
Land in Stechelberg, on the valley bottom, next to the Stechelberg Schilthornbahn cable car station - where you can hop on the bus back to Lauterbrunnen or take the lovely waterfall walk back to the village, and walk off some of that adrenaline!

5.00I had the most amazing first paragliding experience with Marika !!I was incredibly nervous before takeoff, but she was so kind, welcoming, and easy to talk to from the moment we met. She made great conversation and helped me feel comfortable and relaxed the entire time. During the flight, I felt completely safe and confident in her hands. She explained everything clearly and made sure I was enjoying every moment. The views over Lauterbrunnen were unforgettable, and having such a friendly and professional guide made the experience even more special. Thank you for making my first flight such a wonderful memory—I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone! Gracias Marika! Pay for the photos !! Absolutely worth it

5.00Spectacular! We had the best time, it truly is the experience of a lifetime. The views were incredible and guides were so friendly and safe and fun. This is a can’t miss experience. There are a lot of options in this area and it’s expensive, so if you are trying to decide, put this at the top of your list. Also, there are incredible hikes from Mürren so you can make a day of it.
Tandem flight with Tobi rocked!

5.00Couldn’t have asked for anything more for a first time paragliding experience. Our family of 4, ages 16 to 57, thoroughly enjoyed this experience. One of us wasn’t planning to take part but after watching the operator take off and land with dozens of happy participants in the days we spent in town leading up to this, we all went and it was the best! Shout out to Tobi for being patient with me and also serving as a tour guide and local expert in the air. All of our flights were longer fantastic and different. Truly a responsible operator in a country that values precision.
Highly recommended

So Amazing We Did It Twice!

5.00⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My daughter and I had such an amazing experience with Ben and Tom that we actually went paragliding twice during our trip! I was honestly nervous because I’m afraid of heights, but both pilots immediately put me at ease with their professionalism, confidence, and sense of humor. They made us feel safe, comfortable, and excited from the moment we arrived. The views over the Swiss Alps were absolutely breathtaking, and the flights were the highlight of our Switzerland vacation. Ben and Tom were fun, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. We laughed the entire time, even yodeling in the air and trying a few acrobatic tricks on our second flight! The fact that we loved it enough to come back and do it again says it all. If you’re considering paragliding, don’t hesitate—you’ll be in great hands with Ben and Tom. Thank you both for giving us memories we’ll never forget!
DO IT!!!

5.00Absolutely amazing experience! My pilot Michael (Bob) was the best! Super confident and personable and made the flight so fun! Highly recommend trying the roller coaster part at the end! Such an easy meet up and set up process. They cut right to the chase so you don’t think to much about it and really enjoy the ride. Murren is definitely the best place to do it, especially on a sunny day. Also, wear sun glasses so your eyes aren’t watering!!
AMAZING! DO IT!!

5.00This is probably one of the best experiences we’ve had. The pilots calmed our nervousness with their witty humor. Though the ride was supposed to be for 30 minutes, they gave us extra time. Nice people!
So thrilled I did this tour even though I’m afraid of heights/ falling

5.00This was an absolutely fantastic experience. I have a fear of falling but was hoping I’d be able to go ahead with the experiencing this in one of the premier paragliding locations in the world. My wife also went and expected to be nervous but wasn’t. Michale my guide was super helpful- I told him in that I was a bit nervous both before the flight and shortly after takeoff and he was so good. It still took my brain a few minutes to settle in and accept it and then I really enjoyed everything. I was ready to do it again when I landed. And I’d absolutely recommend this. If you have any desire to do this it’s an awesome experience.
