The ballpark
Typical price range
Interlaken is one of the world's most popular tandem flying areas, so prices are fairly standard across the main operators.
Most visitors pay roughly CHF 170–210 for a standard scenic tandem flight. Winter, shoulder season, and special offers can shift that number.
This page gives you a realistic ballpark. When you're ready to book, confirm the exact amount on the operator's website or by phone.
I fly with one local operator, so I know their pricing best. The ranges above are broadly typical for reputable operators in the valley.
For the base price
What a standard flight usually includes
Short answer: Certified tandem pilot, full equipment, transport to the launch site, roughly 10–20 minutes in the air (conditions permitting), and landing back in or near Interlaken.
- Pilot & gear: certified tandem pilot and paragliding equipment (wing, harness, helmet)
- Transport up: from a meeting point in Interlaken to the mountain launch
- Airtime: 10–20 minutes airborne on a standard flight when conditions allow
- Landing: back in the valley, often the Höhematte park in town
Photo and video packages usually cost extra.
Optional add-ons
Photos, video, and longer flights
The extras people ask about most, answered plainly.
Photos and video
Most operators offer a photo/video package for around CHF 40 on site. Phones stay packed away during the flight. Action cameras (GoPro without a pole) can sometimes be attached to the harness. Ask your pilot.
Insider tip: paying your pilot directly after the flight often means the full amount goes to them, without a booking-site commission coming out of it. See flight etiquette.
Double Air
At the operator I fly with, the Double Air upgrade aims for around 30–40 minutes in the air, longer than the standard scenic flight. It costs extra on top of the base price. When conditions block the extended portion, the additional charge is refunded.
Double Air is one operator's product name. Other operators may offer a similar longer-flight option with different naming and pricing.
Works best in stronger midday or afternoon slots. Use the flight finder if you're unsure.
