Description

Description of the experience

The best flying experience over Lucerne

A tandem flight on a hangglider is the most intense way to defy gravity. Unlike paragliding, where you sit, here you lie down. The sensation of gliding through the air headfirst comes closer to a bird’s natural flight than any other sport. Thanks to its distinctive thermals and impressive elevation difference, the Stanserhorn is one of the most sought-after launch sites for hang gliders. During the flight, you’ll feel the acceleration and direct control of the glider while enjoying the view of the Rigi, the Pilatus, and the sparkling basin of Lake Lucerne. It is an experience for anyone who wants to not only see the element of air but literally cut through it.

Depending on your arrangement with your pilot, you’ll meet either directly at the base station in Stans or right at the summit of the Stanserhorn. After a professional briefing and a short run-up together on the slope, your silent glide over Central Switzerland begins, ending with a gentle landing in the Stans valley. Since hang gliding is more technically demanding than other flying sports, there are only a few providers—so we recommend booking well in advance through our portal. The vouchers retain their value and offer you the flexibility you need to plan for perfect weather conditions.

Stanserhorn – A premier scenic summit

The Stanserhorn near Lucerne is famous far beyond the country's borders—not least because of the world's first CabriO cable car. For glider pilots, the mountain, with its steep slopes and excellent panoramic views, offers ideal conditions for entering the thermals and enjoying long flights over the canton of Nidwalden.
