The touch and go… team

OWNER, FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR, TANDEM PILOT, SIV TRAINER

I am a passionate paragliding specialist. Flying and teaching are my great passions. I used to be an acrobatic competition pilot and won several international competitions. After my competition years, I started a family and took over the paragliding school touch and go… from Peter Enz. My safety training courses are highly regarded, even beyond Switzerland’s borders. It fills me with joy to share my experience and passion with others and to help people experience the freedom of flying safely.

Kezi

OWNER, FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR, TANDEM PILOT

Paragliding has been more than just a hobby for me for almost 20 years – it is a passion that I live with heart and soul. As an enthusiastic paraglider pilot, I experience the freedom of flying and the world from a unique perspective. It is an incomparable feeling to glide gently through the air and enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the landscape below. As a tandem pilot and flying instructor, I can pass on my enthusiasm and love for this sport. When I’m not spending time with my family in my spare time, you can find me flying acro or on an extended cross-country flight.

LAUNCH MANAGER, TANDEM PILOT, RESERVE PARACHUTE SPECIALIST SHV

Paragliding is my addiction, a new path for my dreams, for my future. You can find me as a tandem pilot or as a launch assistant at the launch site, in the store and at various events, trips or SIKUs.

Van Vuuren

FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR

Flying is simply in my blood. I’ve been flying for over 36 years, in gliders, piston and turboprop airplanes, but paragliding is by far the most exciting and rewarding flying I’ve ever done. I now have the privilege of opening the doors to this world as a flight instructor. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing the beaming smile on a student’s face after their first high altitude flight, or seeing them launch their own flying career after their test! Let me show you my world!

Testimonial

What our customers say about us

The SIV at Lake Garda was amazing! I didn’t expect to learn so many new maneuvers in four days (accelerated collapses, Spinstall, Fullstall, Flyback, Spinstop, Wingover, SAT, thrown emergency parachute)! You can tell from the very first second that Gabor Kezi knows each of the maneuvers flown inside out. The pre-flight briefings and radio instructions are incredibly precise and communicated with great calm. Even in new and extreme flight situations, I felt very well looked after by Gabor’s instructions. Thanks also to you Anine for the great organization and great time. I will be back!

Raphael Schoen

My paragliding career began with touch and go… on the practice slope. The support was always professional and tailored to my own learning progress. I was able to learn an incredible amount and was soon able to take part in a trip to Morocco. In an SIV, I was able to deepen my previous experience even further and develop into a safer pilot. I can warmly recommend touch and go based on my experiences!

Simon Steiner

This was my second time doing an SIV with Touch and Go and both experiences were fantastic!!! The coaching is personalized to each pilot’s level and comfort zone and is offered in multiple languages to help the pilot get the most out of each flight! The support staff both on take-off and landing are always keen to give pilots the best experience possible. This is a great team and I’m already looking forward to coming back next year!!!

Moran Ludwig

Very professional, caring and a really great team. We met Anine when we landed at Lake Garda and they took us in and let us join their SIV course from the next day. Best experience ever! It was so easy to trust them and the calmness they exude made me feel at peace.
I will definitely be traveling around the world from New Zealand to join another course in the near future.
I 100% recommend these guys!

Sam White

We have just enjoyed our first tandem flight with “touch and go”. Very friendly pilots who really want to get everything out of a flight and make it an unforgettable experience. Uncomplicated and yet you feel in good hands at every stage, not least because of the pilots’ obvious experience. I’d love to fly again!

Philipp Ott

This is a really good paragliding school where you will learn all the necessary skills and knowledge that will enable you to become a very good pilot. The instructors are very experienced and you get to know the best flying areas. Absolutely recommendable!

J.

Absolutely amazing experience. Gabor and Maria were excellent pilots, we felt really comfortable and safe. Picked us up from the train station and brought us back there to make sure we were on time for our next event. Great service! Amazing experience! Can recommend it 100%.

Farima Matadar

It was a great day! We really enjoyed it! The instructors were very helpful and friendly. We learned the basics and even did our first flight by ourselves at the end. The view and Eva were amazing too. I can’t wait to do more flights. I highly recommend this school.

What a great experience! My 6 year old was so excited and we all had so much fun! I highly recommend this company and its staff to anyone who wants to paraglide. Thank you all for the best time! 😁
