We are Mountaingliders

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

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

We suggest starting with one of our flights from Cimetta and landing in Locarno. This is our standard tandem flight and the most appropriate for first time paragliders.

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)

Expect more than just the average tandem pilot. Continuous improvement is the key to success. We always set a high level of skills for our team. Motivation for better flying is the power to always stay in action.
