Gabor Kezi
OWNER, FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR, TANDEM PILOT, SIV TRAINER
I am a passionate paragliding specialist. Flying and teaching are my great passions. I used to be an acrobatic competition pilot and won several international competitions. After my competition years, I started a family and took over the paragliding school touch and go… from Peter Enz. My safety training courses are highly regarded, even beyond Switzerland’s borders. It fills me with joy to share my experience and passion with others and to help people experience the freedom of flying safely.

Sascha Pezo
Paragliding instructor, tandem pilot, parachute expert
In 1999, I had a dream where I was flying over a green meadow. When I woke up and still felt the sensation of taking off, I spontaneously signed up for a paragliding taster day. The first time I tried to take off, I knew exactly what to expect. I took off and had exactly the same feeling as in my dream. Since then, I have been able to continue living this dream. After my training in 2000, I spent a year traveling around the world with a paraglider before settling in Chile for another ten years. Among other things, I was able to help set up and manage one of the largest flight centers there and later set up my own flight school and tandem company. Nevertheless, I was drawn back to Europe after more than ten years. Now I enjoy passing on my knowledge and experience.
Alexandru Pirvan
IT expert, passionate paraglider pilot
I love paragliding and am always looking for ways to improve the experience for pilots and students. Flying gives me freedom, but I also enjoy working behind the scenes – from media projects to developing technical solutions that support safety and learning. At touch and go… I’m not just there to fly, but also to share energy and ideas and grow together with the team.

Florian Lerf
STARTHELFER, SIKU boat
I started flying in 2019 with the aim of taking the wing on mountain tours. Since then, I’ve changed my mind several times and still don’t know which flying discipline I enjoy the most. The only constant has remained the joy of paragliding in general.
Silvio Bucher
TANDEM PILOT, TAKEOFF ASSISTANT
Paragliding has become one of my greatest passions. It all started as a hobby and now I love to experience the most beautiful adventures together with other pilots and to observe the world from a different perspective. After many friends wanted to join me, I became a tandem pilot. I now love to share my passion and get to know new people and cultures. Nothing is more beautiful than the big smiles of my passengers after landing. Come and fly with me!

Steffi Kandulla
TAKEOFF ASSISTANT
Leonardo da Vini once said: “Once you have experienced flight, you will walk on earth forever, with your eyes turned upwards towards the sky. Because that is where you have been and that is where you will always be drawn back to.”
For me, a crush turned into a passion. A passion that is linked to the feeling of freedom and the happiness of being able to see our world from above.
Today I have the privilege of being able to concentrate fully on the world of acro maneuvers. I am also training to be a flight instructor and can show my students that if they are brave for just 5 seconds, they can experience something wonderful.
Maria Schmid
TANDEM PILOT, PHOTOGRAPHER
Growing up on the Rigi and seeing the paragliders from time to time. Flights set 16ni. I didn’t have much time to fly for a few years because of my job as a photographer, but now I’m proud to have two stands.
