🪂🇨🇭Paragliding Over Interlaken: Floating Through the Beauty of Swiss Spring

#springwander Switzerland in spring is a masterpiece—snow still clings to the peaks, the valleys burst into vibrant green, and the lakes shine like sapphires under the sun. Experiencing this from the sky? Absolutely unreal. For €160 (+€40 for the GoPro footage), I got to paraglide over Interlaken, an adventure that felt like pure freedom. 🌿 Spring in Switzerland: The Best of Both Worlds Spring in the Swiss Alps is a mix of the last whispers of winter and nature’s fresh bloom. The air was cool but refreshing, the landscape a blend of white peaks and green meadows, and the lakes reflected the clear blue skies. It was the perfect time to take flight. 🏔️ Pickup, Takeoff, and That First Step Into the Sky The journey started with a pickup in Interlaken, taking us up the winding mountain roads to the takeoff site. My pilot was super friendly, making sure everything was safe and comfortable before we geared up. A few quick steps forward, and suddenly—lift-off. ✨ Floating Above Interlaken Once in the air, it was pure bliss. No sudden drops, no fear—just smooth gliding over some of the most breathtaking views I’ve ever seen. Below me, I could see: 🌊 The deep turquoise waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz 🏡 The charming rooftops of Interlaken 🏔️ The snow-covered peaks of Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger 🌿 Rolling green fields waking up from winter And then came the best part—the pilot let me take control! For a few minutes, I got to steer, shifting directions and feeling the wind respond to even the smallest movements. It was such a surreal feeling, like I was truly flying on my own. Of course, my pilot later took over and showed me some insane spins and tricks—definitely an adrenaline rush! 🛬 Landing Back in Interlaken After 15-20 minutes of gliding over paradise, we gently landed back in Interlaken. Still buzzing with excitement, I couldn’t stop smiling. Every euro was worth it—especially with the GoPro footage capturing every second. 🎯 Final Thoughts If you’re ever in Switzerland, paragliding in Interlaken is a must. Doing it in spring makes it even more special—the perfect mix of winter’s beauty and spring’s fresh energy. And getting to steer the paraglider yourself? That’s an experience you’ll never forget. #paraglidinginterlaken #swissspring #flyingoverswitzerland #bucketlistadventure #swissalps #flyinghigh
