experience flight with me

If you've watched my videos and wondered what it feels like to soar through the mountains, this is your chance to find out.

While my videos often showcase remote expeditions and long-distance adventures, my day job is as a fully licensed and insured commercial tandem pilot. I'm certified through both the Swiss Hang Gliding Association (SHV/FSVL) and the New Zealand Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (NZHGPA), and every year I share the experience of free flight with hundreds of passengers in Switzerland and New Zealand.

You don't need any experience. I'll take care of everything. All you have to do is enjoy one of the most incredible perspectives the mountains have to offer.

From November to April I'm based in Queenstown, flying with GForce Paragliding. Launching above Lake Wakatipu from the Skyline, it's the place where I first learned to fly and where my passion for paragliding began.

If you're booking with GForce, you can request me as your pilot (subject to availability).

Switzerland

From May to September I fly with Airtime Paragliding in the Lauterbrunnen valley taking off from the alpine ski village Mürren, home to one of the world's most iconic paragliding destinations. Towering waterfalls, sheer cliffs and the famous peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau create an unforgettable place to experience your first flight.

Cross Country tandem experience

Looking for something beyond a standard scenic flight?

Join me for a full day of cross country paragliding, where we'll use thermals, ridge lift and mountain weather to fly as far as the conditions allow. Rather than simply gliding down to the landing field, the goal is to stay airborne, climb thousands of metres above the landscape and explore the mountains together.

This experience is ideal for aspiring cross country pilots wanting to learn how to read the weather, find lift and make tactical decisions in flight. It's also suitable for adventurous non pilots with a strong stomach who want to experience paragliding in its purest form. Expect a much longer flight, stronger sensations, and an unforgettable day in the mountains.

Every day is tailored to the weather, your experience level and what the conditions allow. No two flights are ever the same.

These experiences are offered on a limited basis each season and are arranged directly with me.
