Classic

More altitude. More wow.

The all-round favourite. We make the most of the updraughts to glide longer, and you take in the Heidiland and the striking Churfirsten from a bird's-eye view. You decide in the moment: lean back and soak up the view, or add action and adrenaline. A flight that adapts to you.

Panorama

Eye to eye with the eagles.

My longest flight: for everyone who never wants to land. We use the thermals to the fullest to get you the maximum air time, gliding along the imposing mountain ranges with grand views of Pizol, Säntis and the Churfirsten — a dimension most people never see. If you're after the big flying adventure, this is the one.

Flying sites

Three spots, one region

I pick the spot based on the wind. You always get the best experience.

Tandem paragliding Pizol area – launch site
2 222 m
#01 · Spot

Pizol area

My home mountain — great summer thermals and wide views across the Sarganserland and Rhine Valley all the way to Lake Constance.

Tandem paragliding Flumserberg – launch site
2 000 m
#02 · Spot

Flumserberg

One of the most scenic launch sites in the region. Views of the striking Churfirsten and over lake Walensee.

Tandem paragliding Schönhalden – launch site
1 530 m
#03 · Spot

Schönhalden

An easy launch with a wide landing field — calm flights with views of the Churfirsten and lake Walensee.

More sites on request: Liechtenstein/Triesenberg, Grüsch/Fanas and others. I mainly fly these in the shoulder season — when the cable cars at the main sites are down for maintenance.

«Thank you Ivo for the breathtaking experience. It was simply wonderful. I was so curious how it would feel up there for so long. Free as a bird. I was never scared. I even got to «fly» the wing myself for a short while. The «rollercoaster» at the end was incredible. Thank you again — it certainly won't be the last time.»

«An absolutely wonderful experience, I felt safe at all times and had no fear at all. Ivo Grünenfelder, my tandem pilot, explained everything perfectly — it was all planned from start to finish. You feel free as a bird, forget everything and just enjoy the moment. An incredible highlight, I will definitely do it again — careful, addictive! I can only recommend Chickenwings Paragliding.»

FAQ

Frequently asked

Do I need any experience?
None. You fly tandem in front of me with the full unobstructed view — I handle take-off, flight and landing. You just run three steps at take-off.
What weight and age are okay?
Up to 100 kg I can fly almost anyone. No minimum age — for under 18 I need parental consent. For extreme values please call ahead.
What should I wear?
Long pants, sturdy shoes (hiking boots ideal), warm jacket. It is cooler up there even in summer.
What if the weather is bad?
I decide the day before. If I cancel I reschedule for free — vouchers are automatically extended by one year in that case.
How long does the whole appointment take?
Plan around 2 hours: drive up to the mountain station, briefing, flight and ride down.
Do I get photos and videos?
You can add the photo and video package to any flight (+CHF 30). Delivered via WeTransfer after your flight.
Gift voucher possible?
Yes, anytime. I issue the voucher personally and send it to you by post, personalised with the recipient's name.
Which mountains do you launch from?
My main launch sites are at Pizol, Flumserberg (Maschgenkamm/Prodkamm) and Schönhalden above lake Walensee — all in the Heidiland/Sarganserland region, easy to reach from Sargans, Bad Ragaz and the Rhine Valley. In the off-season I also fly Liechtenstein/Triesenberg and Grüsch/Fanas on request.
Where is the meeting point?
I arrange the exact meeting point with you individually — depending on the flying site and weather. You will know it by the day before at the latest, then we head up together.
