They are piloted by an experenced parasailer (at least I hope they are) and a tourist who pays about 120CHF. We finally found one of the "jump off" places-a cleared downhill strip on the top of a smaller mountain. They get a running start and then soar higher than the mountain they took off from, or they head for town where they land in an open field in front of the Victoria Hotel and all the tourist shops. They have a camera on a stick so they can photograph themselves along the way. They begin about 8am, and the float down takes about 1/2 hour or so. The end of the parasailing day is about 8pm. Sometimes there seems to be a continuous stream of them. The vendors are all over the main street. I know they hate to see the days get shorter.
