Tandem Paragliding Flight in Saint-Moritz, Engadin Valley
Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch from the ridge. You run a few steps and the ground drops away instantly. The initial climb on the thermal is the sharpest adrenaline hit before the flight levels into a long glide over the Engadin Valley.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
A healthy respect for altitude helps, but fear of heights rarely survives the first minute in the air. The harness locks you into the pilot's system and the sensation is closer to floating than falling.
How long are you actually in the air?
The flight runs 1h to 1h15 min depending on thermals and wind conditions on the day.
How does the meeting point work?
Your instructor contacts you via WhatsApp after 9pm the evening before the flight to confirm the exact meeting location. Keep your number reachable and check messages that night.

Practical info
