My wife and I both in our mid sixties, were really looking forward to paragliding and fears that weather or possibly any other circumstances would prevent us from flying. This is the point where the owner, Zachariah, came in. He stayed in contact with us, answered everything and believed he did everything possible to make our dream of flying a reality. He was so good I think he may have even fixed the weather for us, lol. Unfortunately my wife’s knee gave out in the snow and Zachariah took excellent care of her with the agreement to come out again once she was up to it. As for myself, my pilot was excellent. We practiced take off, rehearsed flight and was in very good hands. As we rushed ahead and caught air my feet left the ground. We were flying and it was the most beautiful experience. We even flew by some waterfalls that I noticed on the drive up into the alps. Thank you Zachariah for such a fantastic experience.Posted on Tripadvisor Beulah P3 December 2025Verified Euphoric! Wow, wow, wow!!! Paragliding - my bucket list item ✅️ What an exhilarating experience! What spectacular sights of the Swiss Alps from Mt Pilatus, and all this wouldn't have been possible without my incredibly professional, passionate and particular tandem paragliding instructor - Zaccarias from Paragliding- Lucerne. Heartfelt thanks to you, Zaccarias, for making my dream come true. You communicated clearly and constantly the who, when, where, what and how of the experience. Highly recommend this company! God bless, Beulah, AustraliaPosted on Tripadvisor Totty L17 September 2025Verified Perfect fun at the age of 68!! I felt very secure and confident with the instructor Matthias. Best thing an old girl has done in a long time. Family were waiting for me at the meeting point to watch me land and I’d easily go back and do it again next time I’m in Switzerland. Thank youPosted on Tripadvisor Ingrid30 August 2025Verified Als een vogel zo vrij, hoog in de lucht Het was mijn eerste keer. Na een duidelijke uitleg werd ik door Mathias ontspannen mee de lucht ingenomen. Fantastisch om hoog boven de Vierwaldstättensee, tussen de berghellingen te zweven. Wat een uitzichten , vanuit wisselende hoeken, moeiteloos draaiend. Ik mocht ook zelf het sturen ervaren. Ik had nog wel veel langer in de lucht willen blijven.Posted on Tripadvisor Passenger4696682138615 August 2025Verified Wunderbarer Flug Toller erfahrener Pilot, traumhafte Kulisse schönes Wetter. Würde jederzeit wieder einen Flug wagen. Vielen Dank dafür!
EXCELLENT Based on 501 reviews Posted on Google Mrinal TodiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I had an exceptional experience with Zach and his team from start to finish! They were highly responsive to our many questions, went above and beyond to ensure that we were taken care of, and provided the four of us (ages 5-66) with spectacular paragliding experiences from start to finish. For anyone who's on the fence about paragliding or Zach and his team - don't be. Just blindly go with them, just as I did when Hubi did some "rollercoaster" loops with me way up in the air!Posted on Google Quinn FosterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely incredible experience. 10/10 would recommend!Posted on Google Katlyn McGalliardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! Organizing an adventure like this for a group of 16 people could have easily been stressful, but the entire team made everything seamless. From the communication and coordination beforehand, to the transportation, organization, safety, and overall experience on the day of, everything was handled so professionally. Every single pilot was amazing — friendly, experienced, calming, and genuinely made the experience unforgettable for our entire group. You could tell safety was always the top priority while still making it so much fun and exciting. The views were unreal, the flights were smooth, and our whole group has not stopped talking about it since. Thank you all for such an incredible memory during such a special trip for us. I would recommend this company to absolutely anyone considering paragliding in Switzerland!!Posted on Google Eunice RheeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SO FUN!!
