Short Biography of Frank Dimke
I got my paragliding license in 2010. Besides flying, I enjoy surfing and snowboarding, but what I love most in my free time is making music with my band, Dimi Rogers.
How much does paragliding cost in Interlaken, and what’s included in the price?
Is paragliding worth the money?
Many guests describe their tandem flight as an unforgettable experience. You glide over Interlaken, taking in the lakes, mountains, and countryside from a perspective you rarely get to experience otherwise.
When you look at the price, it’s not just about the flight time itself. The price also includes professional guidance, equipment, transportation, preparation, and the pilot’s experience. For many guests, it is precisely this combination of safety, views, and thrills that makes the flight worthwhile.
Are there any cheaper alternatives if you want to go on an adventure in Interlaken?
Yes, Interlaken offers many activities for guests looking for a nature or adventure experience. In addition to paragliding, there are, for example, e-bike tours, rafting, canyoning, and helicopter sightseeing flights.
These experiences are all different. Rafting and canyoning are closer to the water and more physically active, e-bike tours are more leisurely and offer beautiful scenery, and a helicopter flight provides a different perspective from the air.
But the feeling of tandem paragliding is truly special. You’re right up in the air, feeling the wind, and gliding over the landscape. This combination of views, tranquility, and adventure is hard to compare to any other activity.
What is typically included in the price of a tandem flight?
The price typically includes personal guidance from a licensed tandem pilot, all flight and safety equipment, transportation from the meeting point to the launch site, and a pre-flight briefing.
So guests don’t need their own equipment or any prior experience. Before takeoff, they’ll be given an explanation of how the process works and what’s important during takeoff and landing.
With many providers, photo and video packages are not automatically included in the base price. They are often offered as add-ons for those who want to capture the experience.
And how much does a tandem flight cost in Interlaken?
In Interlaken, for example, tandem flights start at around 180 CHF per person. Depending on the provider, this includes a flight time of approximately 10 to 20 minutes, plus transportation.
There are also packages that include longer flight times or specific takeoff locations. These may cost a little more. It’s important to clearly understand before booking which services are included in the price and what additional costs may apply.
How much does a paragliding flight in Switzerland cost, roughly?
Prices for tandem paragliding in Switzerland can vary slightly depending on the provider, season, and package. Entry-level prices are usually between 150 and 250 CHF per person.
The price depends mainly on the flight duration, the departure location, and whether additional services are included. That’s why it’s worth looking not only at the price, but also at what’s actually included in the offer.
