Paragliding in the BO
 
My wife and I are interested in paragliding in the BO. We are staying in Murren for 4 nights and this is on the top of our to do list. Any recommendations? Thanks J

I saw paragliding going on outside Appenzell. Pretty cool. You might check in that area.

We stayed in the area a few years ago. We encountered a whole bunch of skilled paragliders taking off from First station above Grindelwald...apparently, they liked the thermals there a lot.

We took pix:

A quick search on google came up with this website:

No personal experience, though.

I recommend AlpinAir paragliding. We have flown with them on several occasions and they are excellent. They launch from several sites in the BO. Our favorite is the Schynige Platte flight. Their phone number is 079 583 83 83. E-mail: www.alpinair.ch/[email protected]
