PARAGLIDING IN LAUTERBRUNNEN

While in Lauterbrunnen we made a spur of the moment decision and decided to go paragliding for the next morning. We woke up early and left our girls with Marcus‘s parents and headed out to meet our crew. We were both a little nervous but knew it would be an experience we’d never forget in such a stunning place. When we got to the top of the mountain though, it was covered in clouds. Our guides were really nice about being patient enough until it was safe to fly, and once we had a small cloud break, it was time to go! Without even much time to think about it we started running off the side of the hill. The wind picked up our sail and before we knew it our feet were dangling and we were so high up in the clouds. It seems almost surreal that you’re that high up and you ALMOST forget where you’re at…almost! The views were worth it though and as soon as we got out of the cloud cover, you could see all of Lauterbrunnen Valley. 

It was awesome to do something we’d never done before and checked another bucket list item off our list. As soon as we both got down, we both had so much adrenaline we wanted to go to the top and do it all over again. We both couldn’t believe how peaceful it was and quiet being so high up in the sky. It was so different than we expected, but we both absolutely loved it.
