What Our Students & Guests Say
Rated 4.9 ⭐ on Google (47 reviews)
"I met Miki completely randomly while he was training students at Zugerberg. He assisted me with all my queries about a glider upgrade. Today he brought a test wing and basically gave me a full solid training just for me to get comfortable with the new wing. He explained how to work with higher aspect ratio wings and helped make big collapses with it. I definitely left with more confidence. Small group coaching and customer support for a new wing? Totally worth it."
"An outstanding paragliding school with an exceptional instructor! Miki has deep knowledge of both theory and practice and explains everything in a clear and structured way. He is always ready to help, literally around the clock, ensuring that every student feels supported at every step. Highly recommended!"
"The 1:1 coaching with Miki is absolutely top-notch. I learned an incredible amount in one day and gained enormous confidence. If I could go back, I would do the entire training here. Thanks for the valuable tips and the great day, Miki. We'll definitely see each other again."
The Team
One instructor teaches you, two coaches take you further, and a launch crew keeps every take-off clean. You always know exactly who is responsible for you in the air.
Your Instructor
The one who records every step of your training
Miki Mohos
Chief Instructor & Tandem Pilot
I know every one of my students personally: how you handle a nervous launch, which maneuver you keep rushing, what clicked last week. That is the whole point of keeping the school small, because it lets me build a training plan around your actual level instead of a fixed syllabus.
My longest flights were done on EN-A wings, the same class you learn on: 113 km cross-country and a 105 km flat triangle. Not a trophy, simply the reason I can teach you to read the air on the wing you are actually flying. Add an engineer's habits from my PhD years, and you get weather briefings and gear advice that hold up.

Coaches & Mentors
Where you go after the licence: cross-country, hike & fly, big days in the Alps
Marcel Schmid
XC & Hike-and-Fly Coach, Tandem Pilot
Three decades of Swiss air in his logbook, a name most pilots in Central Switzerland know, and quietly one of the best cross-country pilots in the country. Whether the plan is your first 20 km glide or a 200-300 km record line, Marcel has planned it and flown it: reading the day, choosing the line, knowing when to push on and when to turn back. He flies with us on cross-country and hike & fly days rather than in daily school operations, and that is exactly when you want him next to you.
Mihai Lazar
Hike-and-Fly Coach
Six years and counting across the Alps, on everything from cross-country legs to speedflying and ski-fly. Mihai specialises in hike & fly: choosing a peak that actually works, packing light without cutting safety, judging a wild launch with no windsock and no crowd. If your goal is to walk up and fly down under your own steam, he is the one who gets you there.
Launch Crew
The last check before you leave the ground, and the first hands when you land
Barni Kis
Launch Marshal
I lay out your wing, untangle your lines and watch the cycles until the window is right. On a busy launch that job is what keeps things calm and unhurried, and on your first mountain start it is the difference between rushing and flying.
David Rokonay
Launch Marshal, Tandem Pilot in Training
Harness buckles, speed system, reserve handle, wind: I run the same five-point check with you before every single start, until you catch yourself doing it without me. I am training toward my tandem licence with Miki, so I know how a clean launch is supposed to look and feel.
Noémi Szántó
Launch Marshal
Nervous students are my speciality. I talk you through the last minute before launch, slow your breathing down and keep the pressure off, because a rushed pilot makes a bad start. Years of working with horses taught me patience and timing, and both translate surprisingly well to a launch site.

Paragliding Equipment
For our students, the beginner set is part of the transparent course pricing. For licensed pilots we supply wings (EN-A to EN-C), harnesses, reserves and instruments from Supair, PHI, Nova and U-Turn, with personal consultation, correct sizing for your weight, and the same person at every check afterwards.
Sustainability
Trees planted, EV powered
We travel to the flying sites in an electric van and offset every flight's footprint: our partner plants verified mangroves in Kenya: up to four trees after each tandem flight and up to twenty-five after each student. Caring for the playground we fly over is part of the job.
Verified impact, not green-washing
Our tree planting is verified by Ecodrive-Veritree, a reputable US-based tech company, so the impact is transparent and real. Click the badge to see our live project page on our partner's website.
