This was such an incredible experience!! The views over Engelberg were spectacular. Thank you so much to my tandem pilot Marcel! He was very kind and made sure I felt comfortable the entire time. I would absolutely do this activity again :)

My 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.

This 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

Marcel 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.

I 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!

This 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!
Definitely recommend!

Great experience, highly recommend! Be aware, we booked for 4 people as permitted but only there were only two pilots so the second two people had to wait for 2 hours while the first group went and the pilots went back to the top to fly with them. The pilots were fantastic and our kids ages 12, 15 and 17 had a great time!

Amazing experience paragliding with my pilot Miki. The flight was easily organised with Sam and co-ordinated the pickup without issues. The flight itself was great - Miki made me feel safe and comfortable and even let me steer for a bit. Definitely recommend this experience
