Paragliding was one of the highlights of our trip in Switzerland! The guides made everything very easy for us to follow/understand & the views were unlike anything we had seen before. We highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience!

Toni and Florian were fantastic! We were early, but they took us up the mountain straight away. The instructions were very clear and though I was really nervous, their relaxed demeanor was really reassuring. I would absolutely recommend them!

Fantastic

What a thrilling adventure. One of the highlights of our three week trip through Italy and Switzerland. Tony was great and everyone in our group had a blast. Transport from Lucerne was included but had to jump on the train heading back.

Exciting and Beautiful Flight!

David_D, Sep 2022
This was incredible. One of the highlights of the trip. Toni was a great pilot. We had a lot of confidence in him from the beginning. We flew off Mt Niederbaum near Luzern in August 2022. The views were amazing. The weather clouded up after the first flight but Toni was patient and the weather cleared up and we got the second flight in. Toni's flying skills were evident when he performed the "roller coaster" maneuver which was very exciting. I would definitely recommend.

Thank you so much for The nice review.👍🪂

An unforgettable ride with Toni !

Gurinder_S, Sep 2021
Toni is an incredible instructor and a genuine soul. Starting from setting up the appointment, picking me up from the train station, lending me shoes which were ideal for the adventure, the small talk along the way, up until the landing and everything in between, he was friendly, warm, and endearing. We went over lake Lucern and tried different flying styles. The videos and pictures Toni captures were perfect and memorable. I didn’t have an adrenaline rush, and felt smooth sailing as soon as we got in the air. I’ll never forget flying over the small town and lake, while overlooking the mountains and clear blue sky. Paragliding is officially checked-off the bucket list! I highly recommend going with Toni, you will be in great hands🙌
