About Skywings Paragliding
Skywings Paragliding is one of the most experienced tandem paragliding operators in the Interlaken region, with over 30 years of flight experience above the Bernese Oberland. Their central location on the Höheweg makes them easy to find, and they operate year-round with seasonal launch sites — higher Alpine takeoffs in summer for longer flights and lower-altitude launches in winter that still deliver sweeping views of the snow-capped Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau triumvirate.
The tandem flight experience typically involves a short transfer to the launch site, a brief ground instruction, and then a running takeoff into the air for a flight lasting anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes depending on thermals and conditions. Passengers fly in a comfortable seated harness alongside a Swiss-certified pilot, and in-flight photos and video packages are available. No prior experience is needed — the pilot handles all technical aspects while passengers simply take in the panoramic views of the twin lakes, the town below, and the high Alpine peaks stretching to the horizon.
What distinguishes Skywings from the many paragliding operators in Interlaken is their longevity and the depth of their pilot team's local knowledge. Three decades of flying the same airspace means their pilots know every thermal pocket, wind pattern, and scenic line above the valley. Their consistently high safety record and strong reviews reflect this experience, making Skywings a trusted choice for first-time flyers and repeat visitors alike.
