    AWESOME 1st paraglide (Tandem) experience!
    Jonas is very experienced and punctual. He is also very responsive on email and keep us updated on weather. We noticed he adjusts the parachute into position very fast, compared to other paragliders. His instructions were very clear and the flight was very fun. We thank Jonas for flexibility and taking good care of family.

    An awsome experience
    We booked a Thermal flight from Niesen. Almost right away we were contactet by Jonas, who gave us the details and where to meet the pilots. We were scheduled to meet the pilots 15.00 at the base of the cablecar in Mulenen . We somehow managed to go on the wrong train, and were headed to Visp instead, a citi 25 minuts away. We now needed to travel back to Spiez. Realising we would be late for our appointment. We were afraid that we could'nt jump that day because of this. We called the pilots and they was willing to wait for us. One and a half hour later we arrived at the cablecar. We were greeded by the two pilots, Jan and Sven (super nice guys) , they explained everthing that was going to happen and then we starded the 30 minuts cablecar ride to the top. Jan and Sven was two professionals pilots who made us feel really safe all the way. The flight was awsome. A nice view over the whole area and the lake. I can really recommend flying with Swissgliders.

    Amazing 1st time experience
    This is overdue but I went paragliding for the first time in my life with Swissgliders back in September 2017. I went with my partner and accompanied by Christoph and Bea as pilots. Very nice people, fun and we felt very safe the whole time. It was there when I proposed to my partner as well and Swissgliders were very helpful all the way in my helping me plan the perfect surprise for her ! Overall a fantastic experience 'flying' off the pyramid Niesen, brilliant weather on the day and views were amazing. Going off the Niesen and landing in Spiez was great as we were the only ones around. Would recommend anyone to go with Swissgliders (we stayed in Thun) over the more touristic and crowded ones at Interlaken.

    Flying over Switzerland with Swiss Gliders
    Switzerland, for sure beautiful part of the world. But If you want to get an even better view, the best way to see this country is from above. Last week I had the opportunity to fly with Swiss Gliders. It was amazing experience, highly recommended. Looking forward to fly? Make sure to bring with you hiking shoes or sneakers, a light jacket and sunglasses. Sit back and enjoy the view. Happy flying!

    One for the bucket list...
    I had the privilege to do a tandem flight with Jonas from Swissgliders. The whole experience was professional, friendly and safe. Jonas was an excellent and safe pilot. If you want to experience paragliding for the first time then the Interlaken/Thun area is definitely the place to do it and I would have no hesitation in recommending Swissgliders to take you into the sky.
