Das Zertifikat des Schweizerischen Hängegleiterverbands für touch and go Paragliding – Deine Garantie für professionelle Ausbildung und höchste Sicherheitsstandards

Take off safely and confidently with your paragliding school in Central Switzerland

To fly legally in Switzerland, you need a paragliding license. The law requires students to complete at least 50 high-altitude flights in 5 different flying areas during their paragliding training, pass the theoretical exam and complete the training with the practical exam. This is how you obtain your license as a paraglider pilot. Our comprehensive paragliding training prepares you optimally for this.

Our experienced flight instructors will show you all the tips and tricks and introduce you to the various theoretical elements. We support you in choosing the right equipment and accompany you throughout your training. Whether in light or strong winds, we will teach you the correct take-off technique and explain everything you need to know about the weather and airspace. We will continue to be there for you even after the practical test. However, the first step to take-off is up to you.

Of course you can paraglide, even if you are afraid of heights! In fact, it is a common misconception that fear of heights is just as noticeable when paragliding as when standing on a tall building or ladder. When flying, there is no direct reference point to the ground beneath your feet, which means that the feeling of “height” is perceived very differently. Our pilots are empathetic and support you during the flight.
