Unique things to do in Lucerne

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. By basic steps of painting I mean color mixing, rules of composition and proportions. All materials are included in the price including some drinks and snacks. My classes are focussed on the process of learning rather than the final result and the groups are small so we usually have a lot of fun while we work. On Thursdays we meet at my atelier but sometimes you can find us in other locations such as bars and restaurants.
