• 3Subpar overall but paragliding is cool

  Easy to book and communicate with Marcel. However- a few things struck me with this experience that could be vastly improved upon. The flight time and takeoff points can vary widely just as an fyi. We understand this as it relates to wind and weather. But just know that you may be traveling much farther to complete this. Additionally, they did write that cable car and photos were an extra charge but here was the unfortunate part that we noted and should definitely be improved for overall customer satisfaction. The experience itself is expensive and therefore if you own a GoPro or insta360 they should communicate that if it has securing strap and an extender pole that it will be amazing to capture the experience for you. Instead of being told these simple things which means we could have had footage on our own insta360, we were told to bring it and the pilot decides. It was a no because we didn’t have a strap to secure. We felt preyed upon to “owe” them another 40 CHF to simply get the footage of the very short 7 min experience…. Our cable car was 20 CHF per person. We noticed based on a sign at the cable car that you can get punch passes for 10 rides for 80 CHF. This is what the instructor had and gave to the attendant. Therefore meaning our ride was 8 CHF and not 20 but he charged us 20… again a small things but preying on travelers isn’t the best look after the experience itself is already 500$ for 2 people. My spouse had a great experience with his pilot Jonas. I had a less fun and social experience with Marcel. It was “business as usual” for him and felt very underwhelming. My husband got cool still shots and lots of discussion while in flight and quite frankly I had no idea Marcel was even videoing etc. limited communication. My last comment is that for the short duration of 1 hour that the pilots were with us- they could speak English and have conversations with us but instead that simply ignored us and spoke german to one another until 1 min before takeoff.

• 5If you're even thinking about paragliding in Switzerland, this is your sign to do it.

  Our guide, Marcel, was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we met him, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly reassuring. I was terrified of the takeoff, but he kept me calm and made me feel completely safe the entire time. He genuinely felt like an old friend, and you could tell that paragliding isn't just his job, it's his passion! The experience itself was life-changing. It's almost impossible to put into words what it feels like to soar over Mount Pilatus. For a few moments, it truly feels like you're a bird flying above one of the most beautiful places on Earth. No photo or video can fully capture it. Marcel contacted us on WhatsApp beforehand with clear instructions about where to meet. Everything was smooth and well organized. One thing to note: if you're a pair and only one guide is available, you'll fly one at a time. I had read this in previous reviews, so I knew what to expect and enjoyed exploring the neighborhood while waiting for my boyfriend's turn. There is also a lot to explore at the peak! This is easily one of the most memorable experiences of my life, and it's something I'll be talking about for years. If you're visiting Switzerland, don't miss it.

  One of a kind experience with breathtaking views. Marcel was a fantastic guide and added to a grey experience. I would recommend for anyone who wants to see the alps from a unique view.

About Lucerne

Lucerne is a compact Swiss lake city with a covered wooden bridge, a medieval wall and a ring of mountains, in the heart of Switzerland.

Lucerne sits at the northern end of Lake Lucerne, where the Reuss River flows out under two old wooden bridges. The Chapel Bridge, with its stone water tower and painted roof panels, dates from the fourteenth century, although it was partly rebuilt after a fire in 1993. The old town has painted house fronts, squares and the twin-spired Jesuit church, and the Museggmauer, a wall with nine towers, closes it to the north.
