Paragliding in Switzerland - the Intensive Tandem Flight
If paragliding is too slow for you, then a hangglider is just the thing for you. Hang gliding offers a completely different flying experience: thanks to the lying position and the aerodynamic shape of the delta wing, you reach higher speeds and feel the wind blowing directly in your face. At Flugzentrum.ch, we make this exclusive sport accessible to you. We bring together the most experienced professionals at the best spots in Switzerland so you can take off right away without a long search.
Why hangglider? The ultimate Superman feeling
What’s the biggest difference from paragliding? You’re not sitting—you’re flying—literally. Lying on your stomach, just a few centimeters below the wing, you have a field of view that no other aircraft can offer. You control the glider together with your pilot by shifting your weight and experience pure dynamism.
