"I booked a tandem paragliding flight on very short notice, and everything went perfectly. It was my first time, even though I'm afraid of heights. The pilot did such a great job that I wasn't scared at all. I was able to enjoy the flight to the fullest and would book another one in a heartbeat."
"It was an amazing experience! The pilot (Pesche) came across as very professional, and I felt completely at ease. The flight was even more beautiful than I could have imagined, and it was incredibly exciting to witness the maneuvers he performed."

Description of the experience
Unique views of the Alpstein massif
Thanks to its striking rock formations and rolling hills, the Appenzell region is one of the most beautiful flying areas in Eastern Switzerland. The flight usually takes off from Ebenalp, a place known worldwide for its spectacular scenery. As soon as you take off with your pilot, the famous Äscher-Wildkirchli mountain inn lies at your feet. As you glide gently toward Wasserauen, your gaze sweeps over Lake Seealpsee all the way to the summit of Säntis. The stable thermals and the impressive steep cliffs of the Alpstein make this tandem flight an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and adrenaline seekers alike. Since you’re comfortably seated in the harness, you can fully concentrate on taking photos or simply enjoying the pure feeling of freedom.
Book flexibly with attractive upgrades
At Flugzentrum.ch, you can book this first-class adventure easily and securely. Our standard offer includes the classic panoramic gliding flight, which is ideal for beginners. Would you like to stay in the air longer? Between April and September, you can easily select an upgrade to a thermal flight in our booking tool, where your pilot uses the updrafts to carry you even higher above the peaks. For couples, friends, or colleagues, we also offer the “DUO Couples Flight” option: Here, you take off simultaneously with two pilots and two gliders to share the experience side by side in the sky. You’ll meet your pilot directly at the valley station to head to the launch site together.

Wasserauen – The gateway to the Alpstein paragliding paradise
The meeting point for your paragliding flight is in Wasserauen, at the foot of the Hoher Kasten or at the Kronberg valley station—the ideal starting points in the Appenzell region. From here, the cable car takes you directly to Ebenalp, the Hoher Kasten, or Kronberg, which are considered the most famous launch sites in Switzerland. The excellent thermals and the impressive mountain scenery make this location perfect for your tandem paragliding flight in Appenzell.
You’ll meet your pilot directly in Wasserauen, usually near the valley station of the cable car. The location is easily accessible by car or via the Appenzeller Railway (Wasserauen terminus). After a short ride on the mountain railway, you’ll reach the launch site on the Ebenalp. From there, even before takeoff, a breathtaking view of the north faces of the Alpstein and the vast foothills of Eastern Switzerland unfolds before you.
The meeting point for flights departing from the Hoher Kasten is located in Brülisau at the valley station of the cable car. Together with the pilot, you’ll ascend to the summit, where a unique 360-degree panorama of the Rhine Valley, the Appenzell region, and all the way to Lake Constance awaits. The launch site offers ideal conditions for flying over the impressive backdrop of the eastern Alpstein and enjoying the sweeping views all the way to Austria and Liechtenstein.
If you choose Kronberg as your launch site, meet your pilot in Jakobsbad. The valley station is easily accessible and serves as the starting point for the ascent to the summit. From there, a spectacular view of the north face of the Säntis massif opens up. The gentle slopes of Kronberg offer ideal conditions for peaceful panoramic flights, during which you glide silently over the typical Appenzell hilly landscape back toward the valley.
