About us

For me, paragliding is pure freedom. It’s the ultimate way to fully immerse myself in nature and admire it from above. I love how the wind and weather make each flight completely unique. This sport is perfect for sharing with friends. Whether it’s flying together on a cross-country adventure, spontaneously catching a sunset flight, or experiencing a “Hike, Sleep & Fly” adventure, it’s the little moments that make it so special. Every flight is a new way to connect, explore, and create memories that last a lifetime.

Paragliding has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I took my first flight at 14 and passed my paragliding exam by 16. While I’ve competed in events, what truly excites me is chasing unforgettable flying experiences worldwide. Whether soaring over my home in the Bernese Oberland or exploring Australia’s stunning landscapes, every flight is a new adventure and I’m always ready for the next!

I’m a pilot at heart, with two licenses: one as a tandem pilot and another as an airline pilot with Swiss. Paragliding is truly special to me, as there’s something magical about taking off with just a thin piece of fabric and soaring through the sky. I also love mixing flying with my other passions, like hiking, ski touring, and traveling – it makes every adventure feel even more thrilling!

Together with my wife and brother, I founded Skywings Paragliding, turning my hobby into a profession. With over 30 years of experience, nothing compares to exploring the world from above. As an experienced tandem pilot with over 10,000 flights, I love combining paragliding with summiting peaks and flying back down to the valley. Each flight brings a sense of freedom and adventure that never gets old!

As a co-founder of Skywings, I’ve had the privilege of soaring to great heights, becoming World Champion in 2015 and winning the Swiss Championship five times. But for me, it’s not the titles that matter most. It’s the freedom, the breathtaking vistas, and the serenity of flight. Despite my competitive success, it’s the pure joy of flying that continues to captivate my heart.

Growing up in Interlaken, I turned the mountains into my playground at an early age. Whether on skis or speedflying, I thrive on athletic challenges. A personal highlight was my Climb, Ski, and Fly project in 2019, where I ascended the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau on the same day, then descended each with a paraglider. It was an unforgettable mix of adventure, passion, and pushing limits!

As a passionate paraglider, I thrive on the excitement of soaring from mountains, exploring new landscapes, and landing in hidden spots. There’s nothing like the feeling of connecting with nature, dancing with the wind and clouds. One of my most unforgettable experiences was tandem flying over the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau with my wife—truly a perfect blend of adventure and breathtaking beauty!

When I fly, I feel truly alive. I’ve been soaring since I was 14, crossing 400+ kilometers in Brazil 11 times! Placing sixth at the 2022 Paragliding World Championships and the World Cup Superfinal were unforgettable moments. You’ll find me at nearly every major race, chasing the podium. For me, the sky isn’t just a place – it’s where I belong.

I started paragliding when the sport was still young, and my passion has never faded. From cross-country flights to hike-and-fly missions, and soaring at various altitudes, I embrace every aspect of the sport. As a tandem pilot, I’m known for my signature high wing-overs, offering passengers an adrenaline rush and making each flight truly unforgettable. Every time I’m in the sky, I feel a fresh wave of excitement!

At 14, my first flight over the practice slope left me in awe. Since then, I’ve had countless flying adventures in the Bernese Oberland. I’m also passionate about photography, with my work featured by paraglider manufacturers and magazines. When I’m not tandem piloting, I run my own bricklaying and woodworking business—always staying busy and embracing life’s adventures.

I started paragliding when the sport was still in its early days. Venturing into the rugged landscapes of New Zealand with local pioneers, I was among the first to try cross-country flights on the island. What I appreciate most is the simplicity of the sport. With just a backpack, I’m ready for any flying adventure, embracing the freedom that comes with every flight!

Originally from Norway, I discovered my passion for paragliding during a tandem flight in Chamonix in 2000. I quickly immersed myself in the sport, which brought me to Interlaken. With numerous top finishes in PWC races, I’ve gained extensive experience as a pilot. When I’m not flying, I love ski touring, mountaineering, and going on exciting hike & fly adventures—always seeking new challenges in the mountains!

I’m an adventure enthusiast who thrives on thrills! As a skilled pilot, I love acro, cross-country flights, and hike & fly adventures. I also dive into speedflying and tackle extraordinary paragliding projects. One of my biggest highlights was competing in the intense Red Bull X-Alps 2021, where I finished 16th despite tough weather conditions. Every challenge pushes me further, and I’m always chasing the next adventure!

I discovered my love for flying in New Zealand, soaring along the stunning North Island coastline. My adventures took me to Antarctica, where I became one of the few to paraglide at the South Pole. Now, I’ve settled in Interlaken with my family, living my passion every day as a tandem pilot and sharing the magic of flight in one of the world’s most breathtaking locations.

Paragliding has taken me to incredible places, from Turkey’s serene landscapes to Mexico’s warm hospitality and Colombia’s vibrant energy. I’ve had the thrill of earning top 10 rankings in competitions, but now I focus on flying tandem. Sharing the magic of flight with others has become my passion, and I’m grateful for the chance to explore the world from the sky, one unforgettable flight at a time.

My greatest passion is paragliding, and one of my personal highlights was soaring along a sand dune in Namibia as the sun set. Beyond flying, I love working with huskies, singing in a yodel club, and renovating my home in the Bernese Oberland. These passions give me a unique balance of adventure, creativity, and connection with nature.

In my youth, I excelled in acro paragliding, mastering breathtaking maneuvers. Now, I embrace serene hike-and-fly adventures, spending nights under starry skies. When I’m grounded, you’ll find me trail running, tending to my organic garden, or diving into IT research behind a screen. Whether flying or exploring on foot, I find joy in every moment of nature and discovery.

My passion for flying was sparked after an unforgettable 1993 climb to the Jungfrau. Watching my friends soar while I hiked back fueled a deep determination in me. Just a year later, I earned my paragliding license, and since then, I’ve flown down from countless peaks. Each flight feels like a unique privilege, and I continue to cherish the freedom and excitement of being in the sky every time I take off.

I live and breathe paragliding as a tandem pilot and flying instructor. When I’m not with Skywings, I’m teaching eager students the art of flight. For me, flying is all about epic nature adventures – from chasing the Northern Lights in Iceland to top landings on Mont Blanc and soaring to 6565 meters in the Himalayas. It’s a never-ending list of unforgettable expeditions, and I’m always ready for the next one!

I absolutely love mountain adventures, especially when I’m soaring through the sky with my paraglider. There’s nothing like the thrill of sharing the air with eagles or enjoying a flight with friends. To keep pushing myself, I take part in local paragliding contests every now and then, always looking to grow and improve as a pilot. Each flight fills me with excitement, and I can’t wait for the next adventure!

Growing up in a flying family, I was drawn to the sky from an early age. I started solo paragliding at 15, and quickly found my way to the top as a Swiss pilot. Winning the PWCA World Championship in 2017 and taking the World XContest titles in 2018 and 2019 were unforgettable moments. Today, I’m lucky to work as a tandem pilot and contribute to Gin Paragliding’s glider innovations—living my dream every day!

Flying has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Whether with or without an engine. I started with airplanes at 12 and discovered paragliding in 2016, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Combining my love for flight with my passion for travel, I explore breathtaking landscapes around the world from the sky, always chasing new adventures and the pure joy of soaring.

Growing up near the Niesen in the Bernese Oberland, I explored the mountains from an early age—on foot, skis, or bike. But it was a paragliding taster day at 16 that truly awakened my passion. Now, beyond cross-country flying and Hike & Fly, I compete in the Swiss League and instruct others, sharing my love for paragliding and the incredible freedom it brings.

I’m often out mountaineering or ski touring, sometimes with my paraglider in tow. Paragliding gives me an incredible sense of freedom, a feeling I’m passionate about sharing with my tandem flight passengers. My goal is to create unforgettable experiences in the sky, where they can feel the same exhilaration and awe that I do every time I take flight.

The freedom of flying is one of the most incredible feelings in the world. I love how paragliding lets me connect with the landscape, using the sun’s energy to stay in the air as long as possible. Sharing this passion with others is what truly excites me. During my 8 months in Brazil, I flew over 10,000 km and logged 400+ hours—an adventure I’ll never forget!

I’ve always been fascinated by the simplicity of paragliding—everything fits in a backpack, and all the worries stay on the ground. My parents took me flying since I was seven, and by 16, I couldn’t wait any longer. From soaring off the Eiger to speedriding in the Alps, I love hiking up and flying to stunning spots like lakes or glaciers!

I absolutely love the freedom and adventure that paragliding brings. It’s the perfect way to reach those remote, stunning places. My favorite thrill? A backyard paraglide—hiking up, staying overnight in a cozy hut, and then soaring down to the valley at dawn. It’s such an exhilarating routine, and every time I do it, I feel that rush of excitement and awe, making each flight even more unforgettable.
