Our passion
For 30 years I live the dream of flying. Now I share my dream with you.

As a little boy, I dreamed about flying.
My older brothers were among the first lunatics. They drop off Mt Stanserhorn without a helmet, on a cloth spanned over aluminum tubes.
A few steps and I take off. I’m one with my hang glider and glide weightlessly over mountains and valleys.
Hang gliding has been my passion for more than 30 years. The more I fly, the more I feel this freedom.
By participating in international competitions around the globe, I have developed my skills and gained experience.

Only in the air I feel really free!
Since the age of 15, I have the privilege of living the biggest dream of humanity. Fly like a bird.
It takes only a few steps to lift off the earth and escape into the freedom of the sky. Indescribable, this feeling to glide like a bird through the air. Difficult to express this feeling and the emotions. While tandem flying, I need no words. I’ll just take you with me. Together we escape to heaven.
Through my active cross-country flying and the international competition flying, I have already gained a lot of experience and I can improve my abilities.
