The morning opens on a narrow valley floor where waterfalls dare you to look up: spray from Staubbach and Mürrenbach sparkles as you start climbing out of Lauterbrunnen toward Mürren.
This full-day Hike and Fly pairs a classic alpine ascent—rough dirt switchbacks, grassy ledges and rocky outcrops—with a tandem paragliding launch from a high takeoff field. Expect roughly 6–8 km of hiking one-way with about 800–900 m of elevation gain between the valley and the car-free village of Mürren; the route winds through alpine meadows and past carved limestone cliffs formed by ancient glaciers.
Lauterbrunnen’s name—German for “many fountains”—reflects a cultural landscape shaped by water and mountain farming; you’ll pass seasonal hay meadows and possibly grazing cattle. Mürren and neighboring Gimmelwald retain a quiet, low-traffic character that makes the flight’s bird’s-eye panorama feel uninterrupted.
Practically: arrive with sturdy boots and layered clothing, and be ready for steep sections with loose rock. The tandem flight is handled by a certified pilot—no flying skill required—but there’s a 90 kg/200 lb weight cap and health restrictions for pregnant guests or those with serious spinal or cardiovascular issues. Weather and wind determine whether flying proceeds; guides will adapt the route or return by bus if conditions change.
Bring a daypack, snacks, and water; sunscreen and sunglasses matter at altitude. With careful planning, this hike-and-fly loop delivers alpine exposure, sweeping views of the Eiger–Mönch–Jungfrau trio, and the simple thrill of stepping off a ridge and sailing over the valley you just climbed.
No — tandem flights use an experienced pilot; you simply run a few steps at takeoff and enjoy the ride.
Tours accept participants from about age 5, but paragliding has a 90 kg/200 lb weight limit; check with the operator for child harnessing.
Flights are weather-dependent; guides may postpone flying, alter the hiking route, or provide ground transport if conditions are unsafe.
Yes — the full day is led by a private guide for your group and includes a local picnic lunch.
