    Hi I tried Paragliding from Grindelwald and its amazing also i tried Skydiving 2 times before and Perfect.

    This time i want to book Paragliding again.

    But i want another place I’m confused Between choose Paragliding in interlaken As below The Sensational: 1370 METERS 12-30 MINUTES Price : 160 CHF BEATENBERG – INTERLAKEN The sensational flight offers a breathtaking view of our famous alpine panorama, including: Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau, Schilthorn, Titlis and the crystal clear lakes Thun and Brienz.

    And Paragliding from Wengen View will be Lauterbrunnen As Below FLIGHT: THE WALL: 15 – 20 minutes Price : 180 CHF We take off in Mürren at 1650m, around 850 metres above our landing field in Stechelberg (800m); and we are able to soar much higher, using thermals, if conditions allow! Lauterbrunnen is one of the deepest U-Valleys in the Alpine World and famous for its outstanding natural beauty. The countless waterfalls, beautiful views of the car-free resorts of Wengen, Gimmelwald and Mürren, with glimpses of the James Bond Mountain; the Schilthorn and framed by the extensive awe-inspiring Jungfrau mountain range.

    Which one you think will be more beautiful ? And more Breathtaking? 🥰

    If u have another advice plz share Thank you

    Hi Memok,

    so great that you’ve tried and like paragliding. My husband is also a big fan of it.

    You can find some recommended paragliding options here: http://www.myswissalps.com/jungfrauregion/activities. Use the filter called ‘Attraction type’: sport – paragliding.

    I believe that any paragliding in the Jungfrau region will be amazing. No doubt. 🙂

    I hope you’ll find what you are looking for.

    Hi Memok,

    I’ve been paragliding from Beatenberg myself, and it was absolutely amazing. In clear weather you’ll have wide views, from Lake Thun (https://www.myswissalps.com/lakethun) right below you all the way to the Bernese and Central Alps.

    I haven’t done it from Mürren (https://www.myswissalps.com/murren, but I think views are slightly less wide as you’ll be in/above a narrower valley. On the other hand, you’re close to some of the most impressive mountains of the Jungfrau region, so it will no doubt be beautiful as well!
