Paragliding In Interlaken by Thrillophilia is a great option for every thrill-seeker touring around Switzerland. The true thrill and sheer adventure are what the Paragliding In Interlaken can be described as. Although I was a little scared at the beginning of the entire activity once I got to wear the equipment and spoke to the guide I felt a lot better. The activity is conducted professionally, the guide is very active and informed about what is he doing.
