Paragliding School & Tandem Flights in Central Switzerland

WHY CHOOSE US? Your flight is a personal journey

When choosing a paragliding school, it’s vital to recognize that flight is a truly personal journey. It’s an experience where you are constantly confronting and pushing past your own internal limits, as the air is fundamentally not our natural environment. This makes the role of your instructor paramount. At FLYwithMIKI, we commit to providing an instructor who will genuinely "hold your hand" throughout this process, offering unwavering support for your technical skills and, crucially, your mental development. This is why we insist on small group training, it’s the only way to ensure the highly personalized instruction necessary to focus intensely on each individual's progress, challenges, and confidence building.

We integrate this highly tailored approach with the very best in modern pedagogical methods and cutting-edge technology. Our training goes far beyond standard instruction by incorporating dedicated video analysis of your flights, focused one-on-one de-briefing sessions, and essential mental training. These tools are designed to accelerate your learning curve, improve your decision-making processes, and cement the confidence required for independent flight. Through this unique combination of personalized attention and advanced methods, we ensure you gain not just flying skills, but the profound psychological strength needed to excel as a pilot.

Our students receive free access to the unique Flight Deck app, an invaluable technological tool. This app allows students to track their own progress online, access all necessary theory and theoretical background in one place, and review their next steps even while on the mountain. This ensures that the learning process is continuous, efficient, and fully transparent.

Our ultimate goal is not just a certification, but transforming you into a safe, autonomous pilot who can make sound judgments and launch, fly, and land with unique confidence. Additionally, as the first paragliding school in Switzerland to fully embrace sustainability, we utilize an electric van and plant trees after every flight, ensuring your journey is also an environmentally responsible one.

Honest Answers to the Questions Everyone Asks

Learning to fly is a big decision. You deserve straight answers, not sales talk.

The Team

Your Instructor

The one who signs off every step of your training

Miki Mohos

Chief Instructor & Tandem Pilot

SHV/BAZL instructor, no. 54547 Tandem pilot (Biplace 1-3) 950+ flights, 435+ hours 250+ pilots trained

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.

Sustainability

Taking flight to new heights, one tree at a time, with every student's soar

I believe that caring for the environment is not just an option but a responsibility. With my background in engineering, I have always been passionate about developing eco-friendly technologies. Today, as a flying instructor and tandem pilot, I continue to prioritize the well-being of our planet.
