Daro Flückiger

For me, every tandem flight is an opportunity to meet new people and create unforgettable moments. When we take off together, we share not only the joy of flying but also a passion for nature and adventure.

The paraglider allows us to experience the freedom of the skies up close: to enjoy the view, feel the tranquility around us, and simply live in the moment. It’s a privilege to share these special experiences with my passengers and show them the world from above.

My goal is that after the flight, you’ll remember not just the view but also the lightness and freedom of flying. A tandem flight is more than an adventure – it’s an experience that brings a smile to your face and inspires you to see the world with fresh eyes.

One of my most memorable experiences was a flight from the summit of Diethelm. We set out early in the morning and hiked up the mountain together. The climb was challenging, but the anticipation of the flight kept us motivated. Once at the top, we were rewarded with a breathtaking view – a clear sky, the first rays of sunlight, and the feeling of being above it all.

The flight itself was the icing on the cake: we took off gently, and the landscape unfolded beneath us like a stage. It was a moment filled with freedom and a deep connection to nature that I’ll never forget – and I’m sure my guest won’t either.
