About this experience
Meet your professional Airtime Pilots in Mürren and hike to the take-off field where you will receive a briefing from your pilot. Then, simply take some running steps and be in the air in front of the mighty Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains... and over the spectacular Lauterbrunnen valley.
Soaring high above Mürren, witness the Lauterbrunnen valley open up below, with the sheer cliffs and waterfalls seeming close enough to touch as you glide past them like a bird on a tandem paraglide.
Land in Stechelberg, on the valley bottom, next to the Stechelberg Schilthornbahn cable car station - where you can hop on the bus back to Lauterbrunnen or take the lovely waterfall walk back to the village, and walk off some of that adrenaline!
