The colourful wings above Höhematte are hard to miss. A tandem flight puts you under one, with a pilot handling the wing. You meet in Interlaken, ride up towards Beatenberg, where your pilot fits the harness and explains the running takeoff. The flight usually lasts around 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the conditions and package. That is a small part of the whole outing, so weigh the cost against the experience you want and leave some flexibility in your day.
What to look forward to
- A pilot-led flight from the Beatenberg hillside
- Views over Interlaken and its two lakes when visibility allows
- Landing on Höhematte, back in town
Before you go
Wear closed shoes and layers, and tell the operator about any health or mobility concerns before booking. Check age and weight limits, choose the correct seasonal flight, and allow for weather changes. Photos and videos cost extra.
