Incredible Experience of Flying with Breath Taking Views! - An incredible experience of flying with Fredy. It is an amazing feeling being up there! Initial case of disbelief of what you are seeing from an actual bird’s eye view to just pure wonder and joy.
Felt super safe from start to finish and the landing is very soft and smooth. With brilliant instructions and a test run through of the run and leap we do off the side of the mountain, to how to best position yourself, so you have best comfort, was all very reassuring.
There are optional trick moves at the end that I opted in for and they were absolutely thrilling! Again feeling the fun and excitement of it but knowing I was safe. There are hooks on Fredy’s suit that you can hold onto for extra comfort during the whole ride if needed or during the ‘rock and roll’ optional movements. Rollercoasters will be so easy now after this ultimate experience!
Fredy himself is very easy to communicate with. He is professional, clearly very experienced, friendly and super welcoming and this makes the whole experience safe but a huge amount of fun too!
The optional video/photo package was definitely worth it, as it has been such a pleasure to recall and also share the memories with friends and family. Wonderful moments that I would love to do again and fully recommend!
Also the view from the Mountain Stanserhorn is absolutely stunning both on land and in the air! :)

Great experience you will never forget - Fredy and Roman took great care of us. From prior to the flight (Fredy answered every one of my messages quickly and diligently) to getting ready for the flight to the flight itself. They made us feel safe and comfortable, which was important because this was our first time hang gliding. If you are even thinking about doing something like this, DO IT. You will remember and cherish it for the rest of your life, and if you do not do it, you will regret it. Life and health are fleeting. Do exhilarating things like this while you can.

Amazing Experience! - This was an incredible experience. Fredy went out of his way and above and beyond to make sure I got to do my trip when I had complications with timing. He made it so smooth and made a nerve-wracking experience much more calm. I am so thankful for getting to do this!

Soaring like a bird - Hang gliding in the Alps is so memorable. The sights and the feel of soaring over the lakes and with the winds around you while creating mountains and seeing cows and people on the deck chairs below from this vantage is indescribable. I do recommend that you be patient- the tour runs on its own timetable. And it does not return to the starting point unlike what the description says so don’t waste money on a round trip cabrio ticket like I did- it was over $100 wasted. If the actual experience was not so breathtaking, I would be more frustrated by this miscommunication- it’s a lot of extra waste for an already crazy expensive experience. Also don’t take anything but your phone and a thin wallet- there is no way to carry or transport it.

Amazing experience! - The whole adventure was amazing from the time we met Fred! He is an easy and funny guy, but also very committed to our safety. We spoke a lot before the ride to ensure I would be comfortable and it worked very well!! During the ride, he was always asking if all good and letting me know what we would do, including taking pics!!! I would do it again and again, such an amazing experience! 🪂
