The First Flyer gives four people the chance to simultaneously yet independently glide through the air on a length of cable about 800 metres long, at speeds of up to 84km/h. In effect the construction is four parallel Tyroliennes, which link the starting and finishing platforms without supporting masts. Guests sit in a special harness which is very similar to that used for paragliding. The harness is attached to a safe roller mechanism. The facility is just as suitable for use in winter as in summer and makes a spectacular addition to the other mountain activities on offer. The First Flyer is suitable for people of all ages: it will fascinate children and adults and the fact that four people can use the First Flyer at the same time highlights the attraction as a family and group experience. The dream of swishing through the air becomes reality with the First Flyer; particularly as the high speed and maximum height of 45 metres above ground create a high-flying feeling! This kind of facility is currently found only in the USA (Park City, Snowbird, Utah Olympic Park, Icy Strait Point,
Wildcat and Heavenly Valley) and in Siberia (Krasnojarsk). The facility at Grindelwald-First is thus the first of
its kind in Europe. Key data - Ride time: approx. 45 seconds
