Paragliding Over the Lauterbrunnen Valley
Description
While visiting Mürren, seize the chance to experience a captivating paragliding adventure over the Lauterbrunnen Valley. Prepare to be amazed by breathtaking vistas from the heights of Switzerland.
Activity Details
For thrill-seekers, our journey begins at the designated hour at the Mürren Gondola Station. Are you set to glide over one of the most picturesque valleys in Switzerland?
We will ascend to 2,600 metres (8,530 ft) via a cable car to reach Birg, followed by a brief 10-minute hike to the starting point. Prior to our ascent, a thorough flight safety briefing will ensure all participants are informed about the necessary precautions.
Once you're geared up, it’s time to run, jump, and take flight! With a certified tandem pilot at your side, sail between the impressive cliffs of the Lauterbrunnen Valley, while the stunning Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks serve as your backdrop.
