Hang gliding is an uplifting experience. Interlaken has the perfect natural conditions for hang gliding and is therefore the ideal place to enjoy an unforgettable flight. Accompanied by a professional tandem pilot, you’ll be able to get the most out of your flight. Go hang gliding and feel the freedom.
Have you always dreamt of flying through the air like a bird? Hang gliding is the closest you can get to that experience. Interlaken is a popular resort offering the perfect conditions for hang gliders. Enjoy the views of Lakes and Brienz and the Bernese Alps with your professional tandem pilot during your 10-20-minute hang glider flight.
You and your tandem pilot drive to the take-off site in Beatenberg, where the hang glider is prepared for take-off. You are given instructions for a safe flight before your flight, then your adventure begins: Six to eight steps and you take off on your hang glider. Feel how the sail of your hang glider carries you and enjoy the view of the world-famous Three Peaks – the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. You will descend 800 metres during your flight from Beatenberg to Interlaken and, at the end of your spectacular flight, you land safely and quietly on wheels. An experience you won't forget in a hurry. You can also set off on tandem hang glider flights from other locations in the Bernese Oberland. Please contact the respective providers for more information.
Would you like to learn how to fly a hang glider and float alone through the air? Learn to fly safely in the Bernese Oberland. A basic course takes five to ten days and teaches you how to take off, fly and land. You need to have at least 30 high-altitude flights from three different airfields under your belt in order to take the practical test that you need to obtain a pilot’s licence. Fulfil your dream of flying!

“I can highly recommend an autumn flight above the colourful deciduous trees. The tandem flight gave me a wonderful bird’s eye view of Lake Thun and the mountains.”
