“It was an incredible experience! The instructor was highly experienced and made me feel safe and at ease throughout the flight. It was such great fun — the perfect mix of adrenaline and moments of tranquillity, all with absolutely breathtaking views. I enjoyed every second and would definitely do it again if I got the chance! 🪂✨ Highly recommended for anyone looking for something exciting, different and unforgettable. It’s definitely an experience I’ll remember for a long time!”

“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.”
