Hi — I'm Drew

Before Switzerland I taught in New Zealand. These days I'm also a dad, and I take my own kids flying regularly. I know that mix of excitement and nerves, especially if it's your first flight or you're bringing little ones.

Year after year, people would turn up unsure what to expect. They had researched. Most websites still rush toward a booking button. I wanted somewhere calmer: timing, weather, safety, what to wear, and what the day actually feels like, in plain language.

I built this site for those practical questions. You'll find practical tools like the flight finder and a live MeteoSwiss forecast, plus the details booking pages usually skip.

If you're just getting started, try why Interlaken, the safety guide, or best time to fly. Or simply ask me. I'm happy to help.

You can also follow my flights as @paraglidingdrew on YouTube and Instagram.

Interlaken has plenty of great operators, and most of their sites are built to get you booked. Fair enough. Before you commit, you may still have human questions: Is it safe? Will I be scared? What if it rains? Can the kids come?

I hope this becomes the friendly stop along the way: a pilot's-eye view of what flying here is really like.

I'm here to explain what I know from my own work, including schedules and products like Double Air. Other operators may do things a little differently.

Use this site for information, then book wherever feels right. If something is still unclear, ask.

Questions welcome anytime. Just message me.

And if you'd like to fly with me: ask when you book. My schedule changes day by day, and I'd genuinely love to meet you in the air when it lines up.

More if you need it: cost, age & weight, weather cancellations, nervous first-timers.
