“Customer service was 10/10 they answered the phone when i hd questions about the meet up spot and my concerns about the rain Lea my pilot was kind, approachable, and calm. Overall would recommend this company to anyone interested in paragliding.”

“For me, it was a very good guided tour, even though, as a long-time resident of Einsiedeln (Matura 1964), I already knew quite a lot. On today's visit, I brought along a young man from the neighbourhood who had never been to Einsiedeln before. It was an interesting experience for both of us.”
