Switzerland is a land of flying possibilities
Switzerland is a paragliding paradise with over 15'000 resident active pilots, and many more visiting pilots.
skyShepherd provides the missing ingredients to make sure your next flying holiday is your most enjoyable.
Visiting pilots are usually missing the local knowledge and possibly also the alpine flying experience to fly with confidence. skyShepherd provides the perfect partner to bring the knowledge and experience to you.
You will find some information about us and some photos of previous flying tours.
We recognise that your flying time is precious
As a visitor you have a major disadvantage over pilots with local knowledge. We cut through this and help you choose the best sites to fit the flying conditions, get you to the launch and help you with meteo and route planning.
Weather conditions can differ from region to region within Switzerland. The alpine winds and thermal structures can be quite different from the flatland and soaring sites you know well. skyShepherd combines experience of local conditions and culture with familiarity with the start, landing and thermal areas.
Mainly what you need is a little encouragement and advice, and someone to check your launch and landing, and we do this and more to help you optimise you flight time, stay safe, and enjoy the Swiss culture.
