Welcome to Mountaingliders!

Mountaingliders are authentic people from Ticino, Switzerland. We love our mountains and gliders!

The passion for mountains and paragliding is pushing us to share this fantastic combination with you. Hiking, trekking and climbing mountains with ultralight equipment is the key of a new way of mountaineering. Once on the summit, you will be rewarded not only with spectacular views but also with marvelous flights down to valley! Discover how wonderful a paragliding flight might be, after climbing one of Ticino's beautiful summits.

You can also start with one of our standard flights from Cardada-Cimetta (Locarno-Ascona), Tamaro (Rivera) or Mornera (Bellinzona).
And remember: "once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned forever skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return" Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519).

The picture here on the right has been taken in Foroglio, Val Bavona. It shows the famous waterfall from the paragliding aerial perspective, simply beautiful and spectacular! Have a look at our passenger's flight here.
