Our departure was Zurich and took us 2hrs to get to the destination. We went to Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald and Interlaken. This tour is ideal for active people, who walks a lot. The tour would need you to walk on inclined paths. Not ideal for people with difficulty in walking. We did the cliff walk at Grindelwald First(an option with additional fee of 70 CHF per person), however there were fog and the mountains were not visible. Ideal for a day trip/short trip to Switzerland but still want to see/experience the beauty of the mountains and make the most out of their Switzerland trip. Overall, our tour was very nice, peaceful and refreshing. Our guide is very patient and really explained clearly the areas while our driver really took care of us and drove safely. It was a good experience and I would recommend this to young people who are up for adventure.

I was so scared at first and almost didn't do it, but I’m so glad I changed my mind—it wasn’t scary at all! I felt pure happiness the entire time. The view over Interlaken was absolutely breathtaking, and this was hands down the best memory of my entire trip. Huge thanks to my pilot, Oli.B! He is highly professional, super funny, and incredibly nice. He completely put my mind at ease. On top of that, he takes amazing photos and videos! You definitely need to try this at least once. The skywings is top-notch and highly professional. If I ever come back to Interlaken, I will 100% fly with Oli.B again! 🪂✨

Lucas was nothing short of exceptional as my paragliding pilot. We drew pilots by lottery, and by pure luck, I got him. What made him stand out? His warm, approachable demeanor put me at ease right away, and he explained everything clearly, so I felt completely safe in his hands. His passion for what he does shines through in everything he does. His voice is as calm as the sky itself, steady and soothing while we floated above the world. His skill is beyond measure, and he loves showing what paragliding can really do. He took me through roller-coaster swoops, let me skim my foot across the treetops, and even taught me how to steer. On top of all that, he captured fantastic photos and videos of the flight. I highly recommend Lucas to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and unforgettable experience in the air.

This was truly an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience. The plane flew to Interlaken, and the skydiving spot was a bit further out. The shuttle bus was very punctual, which made it easy for me to plan other activities after skydiving. The instructors there were also very friendly!

Had a great flight with the team and my pilot Kurt! Lucky for a great weather. Wish the flight time was longer. The view was awesome, the "roller coaster" was so adrenaline filled! Definitely recommend.
