My Story

I once underestimated the weather in Switzerland. I thought it will be okay doing this because I am not up on any mountains (plus, I didn’t bring far exceed estimation kind of outer layer along). But boy, I was wrong LOL. That day, the weather was not too okay tbh. There was mist, and then drizzling… and then raining. But what we did was… we had signed up a tandem paragliding activity and it is something that one must do when travelling to Switzerland. We only had one slot, one free time where we were able to fly.

It was an early day out from Luzern to Interlaken on train. Check-in into our stay and waited for our pick up vehicle.

We signed up our flight with SkyWings. Each of us paid about CHF 190 (if I am not mistaken) and that included pick up from the arranged meeting point and a flight. In the case if the weather really doesn’t permit for a fly, they will make a refund to you.

The weather that day was not too good. There was sunshine (a little) in the morning as we stepped into the vehicle. But it was then misty as we moved up to a higher attitude. As we stopped by our flying point, drizzle of rain started. We spent some times waiting inside the vehicle, waiting for the sky to clear a bit and some good sun overtaken the sky.

We were briefed with what to do during pre-, during and post-flight. And my pilot was Steve!

But luck was not with us. We waited for about 15 minutes, sky didn’t clear. Hence, we were moved to another flying spot, slightly lower altitude than the earlier one.
