How do we take off, fly and land?

 

After a pre flight briefing from the pilot, we take 4 to 8 running steps, side by side down the grass slope.  As the airspeed increases the glider lifts you into the air.  The passenger and Pilot fly side by side.  If you like, you can take control.  Landing is just like an airplane, we roll on the wheels into a grass strip.

 

 

 

Weather conditions?

 

Due to Interlaken's unique meteorological climate for Hang gliding, there are very few days that we cannot fly and we are available everyday throughout the year.  It does not have to be sunny for a great flight. Hang gliding is much less wind exposed as for example paragliding.
