Christian Furrer

My flying activity began in 1997 with a tandem parachute jump from an airplane. I was immediately hooked on the sport and obtained my parachute certification. After many jumps from airplanes, helicopters and hot air balloons, I was introduced to paragliding by a friend. I soon gave up skydiving because I became more and more fascinated by the sport of paragliding... the opportunity to take off from a meadow and fly for hours and kilometers in good conditions still inspires me. In 2020 I went gliding for a taster week. I stayed at Schänis airfield to improve my flying skills.
