Every day is different.
No flight resembles the other.

Wind, cloud and sun decide our skyways.
This is what makes our sport so unique & wonderful: We adapt to nature and respond to its energy accordingly.

Paragliding is a wonderful way to experience all the many facets of our planet. Once in the air, you will notice the happy hormones flood the body. All of your everyday worries will stay on the ground.

No other form of flying allows you to feel the air in a more pure way. How else could you hover over trees ever so silently and still smell the woods, touch clouds or eavesdrop on bird-chater?!

A Tandem-flight will awaken all of your senses: the memory of flight will stay with you forever!

Paragliding Journey

3 Questions for Pascal

When did you start paragliding?

I began my training in 2007 and have been a certified paraglider pilot since 2008.

However, my passion for flying started a year earlier with a magical tandem skydive from an airplane on New Zealand’s South Island.

How did you get into tandem flying?

After my first flights, I knew I didn’t want to keep this moment of weightlessness and the feeling of wind beneath my wings to myself. The idea of sharing this passion with others and giving people, who may have never seen the world from this perspective, the chance to experience paragliding fascinated me more and more.

After several years of solo flying experience, I decided to take the tandem certification exam in 2014. Since then, every flight has been a new journey of discovery, where I take my passengers on an adventure into the skies. It’s always something special to see the smiles and excitement on their faces as we take off. Tandem flying allows me not only to share my love for aviation but also to give my guests an unforgettable moment – an experience they can take home and hopefully remember forever.

What has been your most memorable experience while tandem flying?

One unforgettable booking as a day pilot stands out in my memory: a morning flight from Rigi to Steinen, a midday flight from Fronalpstock over Lake Uri to Eggbergen, and as the crowning finale, a majestic evening flight from Rotenflue high above the Mythen, accompanied by five griffon vultures circling with us in the same thermal. Experiences like these make flying unique for me. I deeply appreciate Switzerland’s world-class public transport network, which enables us to plan and execute these extraordinary day trips so smoothly and effortlessly.

What excites me is carefully planning days like these and taking advantage of the perfect conditions to offer my passengers not just a new perspective, but also unforgettable moments.

The connection that forms during these flights often goes beyond the experience itself. It’s those shared moments in the air that bring us closer and remain in our memories – like with that particular passenger, who has flown with me every year since. These experiences are what make tandem flying so special.

Every flight is a unique adventure with wind in your face, birdsong in your ears, and nature as a wild co-pilot. Anyone who takes off with me is sure to dream of more thermal circles.
