Zermatt operates year-round; Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen run mid-March through late November. Cold air often gives the clearest exits between January and March in Zermatt.

The most-flown sites are Interlaken (Beatenberg launch) and Lauterbrunnen (Grütschalp cliff launch). Zurich also has flying but is less scenic than the Berner Oberland.

Snug athletic clothing, closed sport shoes, no scarves or dangling jewellery. We provide the jumpsuit, helmet and goggles. Long hair should be tied back.

What should I wear paragliding in Switzerland?

Warm layers — temperature drops around 6 °C per 1,000 m of altitude. Long trousers, closed shoes with ankle support, and gloves in the shoulder seasons.

How safe is helicopter skydiving?

Helicopter exits are actually calmer than aircraft exits — the aircraft is hovering, so relative wind is near zero at exit. Our Zermatt and Lauterbrunnen operations both use helicopters.
