Half-day trip from Lucerne: electric-car pick-up, the world's steepest funicular up to Stoos, chairlift to the Fronalpstock. Plan and tips.
Take off from a mountain with a tandem pilot: depending on the weather from the Urmiberg, the Rigi or the Rotenflue. How it works, where you fly and what to bring.
