About Freeminds Paragliding
Freeminds is a tandem paragliding operator founded in 2005 by pilot Urs Estermann, flying over Engelberg and the wider Lucerne region. Based at nearby Alpnachstad, it offers passengers a simple, low-effort way to experience Alpine flight with views toward Mt. Titlis and Lake Lucerne.
The line-up of six tandem packages ranges from a short Taster to longer Engelberg, Rigi and Pilatus flights, with launch points chosen to suit the booking and the day's weather. The Engelberg flight lifts off from the Brunni side, while a Best Spot option lets the pilot pick the optimal location, and add-ons cover onboard photo and video plus extra airtime for those wanting longer in the sky.
Freeminds stands out for its long track record since 2005 and a clear emphasis on safety, flying annually certified equipment backed by substantial liability cover. Passengers fly with seasoned pilots who know the region's thermals and viewpoints intimately, making it a reassuring choice for nervous first-time flyers.
