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!

5.00Absolutely amazing experience! The views were absolutely spectacular—truly beyond anything we imagined. The guides explained everything clearly and thoroughly, which made all of us feel confident and at ease from start to finish. Our family of eight thoroughly enjoyed both the thrill and the breathtaking scenery. This is one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences we’ll be talking about for years to come. Highly recommend!

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).
Exhilarating

5.00Marcel and Ben are great pilots. We had two couples and went two at a time. The scenery was stunning and the ride exhilarating. Be sure and ask for the “roller coaster “ ride at the end.

5.00I cannot say enough good things about Freeminds. Our original booking date had rain and high winds in the forecast. The owner changed our date and location to be able to get our flights in. Our pilots were amazing, I am terrified of heights and they made me feel at ease. The pictures and videos they took are breathtaking, I have been home for two weeks now and can't stop looking at them. The smile on my son's face is priceless. Our flight from Mt. Pilatus had the snow capped Mt. Titlis on one side and Lake Lucerne on the other.
Best thing we did in Switzerland!

5.00This is a must while in Switzerland! Lucern was a great location to book. Both of our flyers were very nice, patient with us, we were a little nervous. I mean you are jumping off a mountain!
