With the verbal or written registration (i.e. the booking from the customers) in which AlpinAir Paragliding Interlaken or one of their businesses can execute, a binding contract exists between the customer and the organizer. Through the booking, the customer acknowledges the general business conditions as part of the contract between himself and the organizer.

The organizer assumes responsibility for providing the requested service as described in the advertisements and/or in the confirmation order. Service extensions can be considered upon consultation with the organizer. Any extra costs will be borne by the customer.

The effective prices for the offered activities can be drawn from the current advertisements from the organizer. The prices in the brochure are quoted per person in Swiss francs and include the statutory value tax. Prices are subject to change.

The activities must be paid for at the time of booking. No bookings will be accepted without payment.

For group discounts please contact us.

Changes or cancelations of flights can be made before the cancellation deadline of 48 hours before the start of the activity and will be fully refunded in the event of cancellation. After the cancellation deadline, 100% of the amount is due.

In case of flight cancelations by the provider, a full refund will be granted.

For other activities offered by other providers, their terms and conditions apply.

A minimum number of participants are required for certain programs. The organizer reserves the right to withdraw from the contract also on short notice. If the fulfillment of a contract is not possible at another time or if the customer cannot take part in the alternative services offered, any paid fees will be refunded minus charges for services rendered. Further damage claims are not possible. The organizer reserves the right to cancel the program on short notice if participants cause the fulfillment of a contract to be endangered or made impossible by their behavior, their omissions or other actions. In this case the regulation of the cancellation costs applies in accordance with number 5. If a program or parts of a program cannot be carried out due to Acts of God, safety concerns by the organizer, official regulations, strikes or uncertain weather and nature conditions, the organizer reserves the right to cancel or cut short the activities on short notice. Paid fees will be returned minus charges for services rendered, any expenditures and the handling fee. Please note that a danger-free completion of the activity is in everyone’s interest.

Each passenger is responsible to have a travel insurance (health and accident insurance).

The passenger is aware that participation in a paraglider flight is associated with risks. The pilot has taken out liability insurance with a maximum coverage of CHF 5 million. The liability of the pilot for bodily injury and property damage suffered by the passenger during a paragliding flight is limited to a maximum of this amount.

Variant without accident insurance for passenger
The passenger confirms that he/she is insured against the consequences of an accident (also during a hang gliding flight). With the purchase of a flight and thus the conclusion of the contract for the flight, there is no accident insurance for the guest.
‍

Variant with accident insurance for passenger
The pilot has taken out accident insurance for the passenger with a coverage limited to Switzerland and with a maximum coverage of CHF 100,000 for medical expenses. Accident insurance can be claimed after the benefits of any existing accident insurance of the passenger have been fully exhausted. The pilot is only liable for claims arising from the consequences of an accident within the scope of the insured benefits and only up to the insured coverage limit.

Should the activity lead to appeals or damages, these are to be communicated immediately, in writing, to the activity leader (i.e. activity provider), and these are to be confirmed in writing by the responsible leader. The activity leader, however, shall not have the right to acknowledge claims, for which reason a confirmation shall not have the effect of an acknowledgement of wrongdoing. The activity leader (i.e. activity provider) will make every effort, within the confines of the program and the possibilities available, to remedy the situation. Should the situation be insufficiently remedied or not be remedied, or the participant wishes to make damage claims, these must be received by the organizer within four weeks of the contractual end of the activity at the booking agency. The participant’s appeal is to be accompanied by the confirmation of the activity provider/activity leader as well as any other relevant evidence. In the case of delayed complaints or complaints with omissions during the activity or delayed submissions of the claims at the booking agency ,all appeals will be deemed invalid.

​Damage claims against the organizer or the assistants are excluded, as far as the damage was not caused by negligence or intentionally. The organizer is authorized to have assistants or call on third parties to provide valued services. Should the organizer lawfully transfer the execution of the activity to a third party, the organizer shall not be held responsible for the third party’s actions or neglect during execution of the activity. The organizer will especially not be held responsible for damages which are caused by the actions or neglect of the activity leader should this conduct not fall under his/her contracted responsibility; as cause of actions of third parties, other participants, the participant (especially under point 1), acts of God, natural occurrences, official regulations etc or damages caused by delayed return to the starting point of the activity. Should the participant not follow the instructions of the organizer, activity leader, etc, all liability of the organizer is dropped.

Swiss law, excluding international agreement, is exclusively applicable for the contractual relationship. The parties agree that the exclusive legal domicile is Interlaken. The organizer is however authorized to lodge a claim in the legal domicile of the customer.
