This is where the first residents of Wengen settled. The route I have chosen will take us to the charming Innerwengen. Wengen is a lovely car-free mountain town on 1274m altitude located on big cliff between Lauterbrunnen and Männlichen so views are just stunning! The Experience will end here right at the Tell-Bus stop back to L We will descend on one of Uri's most breathtaking gondolas over a series of cliffs. It will take us swiftly up to an altitude of 1800m/5900ft above sea level.įrom there I lead you on an easy and safe hike for 1 1/2 to 2 hours through an ever changing landscape, where we will be largely be the only ones hiking. At the foot of the impressive William Tell Monument (terminus of bus) we meet and I take them to one of this areas many small aerial gondolas, licensed for passenger transport. In front of Lucerne Station my guests board the William Tell Express Bus (Platform W at 12:08pm) and ride along the southern banks of Lake Lucerne to Altdorf, Uri (35min ride).

There are more than 14000 active pilots in Switzerland.Ī very easy hike off the beaten track high up in the Uri Alps. The possibility to get hurt is much lower than with skiing or driving a motorbike. Paragliding is not an extreme sport in Swiss by the opinion of the insurance. After landing there is the possibility to have a look and purchase photos and videos (cost 30 franks extra) made during the flight by the pilot.Ĭosts for cablecar, parking, transfer are NOT INCLUDED to the price. The landing is relatively easy, as the pilot and passenger straighten up and take a step before touching the ground. The basic requirement for the start is that the passenger is able to walk a few steps because we have to accelerate for the start in order to take off. We can take off and land almost everywhere if the landowner allows it. This is the reason cause Swiss is one of the best countries for paragliding and "hike and fly" tours. There are a lot of different landing and takeoff places around. It always depends on the wind for this day. We can choose other take offs like Engelberg or Biehlen. From there you have an amazing view over the lake Lucerne and to Gotthard, the main reach of the Alps. If it's possible we will try to flight over the peak of Niederbauen. We will take off from Mount Niederbauen for a Panorama flight (10-20 minutes) in Emmetten. ![]()
