with landing areas in Goldau, Küssnacht, Weggis, and Brunnen. Based on
weather conditions or prior arrangement, we will also fly to the other
flying areas in central Switzerland.
Usually the passenger selects the flight category, after
which the pilot decides, which flight area and which take-off site due
to the current weather
conditions
is best.
Each of the mountains listed here offers breathtaking views
and guarantees an unforgettable flying experience.
About the Flight Categories
Having a rich flight experience comes from a combination of the
length and altitude of your flight and the panoramic views before you.
While the first two factors in the categories are taken into account
accordingly, the flight duration depends largely on the prevailing thermal and wind
conditions. These are not always precisely predictable and
therefore
we cannot guarantee the length of your flight.
However, you can count on your pilot trying to
extend your flight as long as possible.
In winter, there are
almost no thermals, the flights are therefore shorter, but also quiet
and often very romantic.
