Unique things to do in Switzerland

Avoid the crowd and get my undivided attention in order to discover as a local the spectacular sights of Zurich and surroundings by walking and experiencing the most punctual public transport system in the world. You will discover in a small group the cultural and financial capital of Switzerland, afterward, you'll enjoy a pleasant cruise on the crystal clear Lake Zurich and at the end a short ride on the aerial cable car to a little local mountain to admire spectacular views. In the Old Town, we will focus on most of the city's landmarks and I'll share with you interesting facts about Swiss food, economy, politics, lifestyle, etc. to make you understand better how the Swiss society is organized. We will depart afterward to a popular recreational area for the locals living in and around Zurich called Felsenegg OR Üetliberg, which offers incredible views overlooking Zurich, the lake and the snow-capped Alps. After filling lungs with fresh air of the beautiful forest we’re heading back to Zurich by boat enjoying a 45 min cruise on Lake Zurich. Other things to note Not recommended for people with walking issues/rolling chair/baby stroller. Duration up to 6 hours. Operates on all weather conditions.

We will take off from Mount Niederbauen for a Panorama flight (10-20 minutes) in Emmetten. If it's possible we will try to flight over the peak of Niederbauen. From there you have an amazing view over the lake Lucerne and to Gotthard, the main reach of the Alps. We can choose other take offs like Engelberg or Biehlen. It always depends on the wind for this day. There are a lot of different landing and takeoff places around. This is the reason cause Swiss is one of the best countries for paragliding and "hike and fly" tours. We can take off and land almost everywhere if the landowner allows it. The basic requirement for the start is that the passenger is able to walk a few steps because we have to accelerate for the start in order to take off. The landing is relatively easy, as the pilot and passenger straighten up and take a step before touching the ground. After landing there is the possibility to have a look and purchase photos and videos (cost 30 franks extra) made during the flight by the pilot. Other things to note: Costs for cablecar, parking, transfer are NOT INCLUDED to the price. Paragliding is not an extreme sport in Swiss by the opinion of the insurance. The possibility to get hurt is much lower than with skiing or driving a motorbike. There are more than 14000 active pilots in Switzerland.

Would you like to paint your own artwork and have fun at the same time? If yes, my classes are the perfect activity for you. During my workshops you will have the opportunity not just to learn the basic steps of painting but also to meet new friends.
