Looking for paragliding options similar to Airtime in Lauterbrunnen?

I did do a search of the forums first before asking this. It seems Airtime Paragliding in Lauterbrunnen will not be able to fly us. Their weight limit is 200lbs and my wife and I are about 215lbs. I saw a couple of other companies who have their limits at 220. What I need to know is that what other company, that may be able to accommodate us, has paragliding with similar views as the one (Airtime) in Lauterbrunnen. I know there are ones in Lucerne and Interlaken, but while they are absolutely fine, they do glide mostly over the town/village and we were hoping more like the one in Lauterbrunnen. I forgot to mention that we will be travelling in and around Zurich on day trips, so Zurich is essentially our home base.

You can also paraglide in Zurich (https://www.myswissalps.com/town/zurich/), often on a good day, if you look up towards Uetliberg the sky is full of people paragliding.

Kind regards,
