Join our tour and leave the rest to us.  We have local knowledge, extensive flying experience in all areas and most of all, love flying!  Whether your looking at pushing out you’re personal best or looking for a well-organised European flying holiday, be prepared for a trip of a lifetime!

WHY FLY WITH US?

Our hang gliding tours will take you to some of the best flying sites in Europe, as well as give you a great insight into the European culture.  As soon as you step off the plane in Munich, Germany we will head off in the direction of the sun. 

As hang gliding is weather dependent, we don’t plan an itinerary.  However, we do promise to cram in as much flying as possible and commit to taking care of all of your needs.

Europe is so diverse in everyway way with respect to flying, culture, history & landscape.  One day you’ll fly over the world famous King Ludwig II Castle, Neuschwanstein in Tegelberg, and the next day you may be in the dry flatlands of the French Province region or Ager, Spain. 

We cater for individual and group bookings.  We are also at home in the Austrian Alps having lived there for many years. 

WHO WE ARE!

Your host Oliver Barthelmes has spent the past eighteen years travelling around Europe and Australia, competing and working with all facets of hang gliding.  Their next obvious direction was touring.  They take you to some of the best flying sites in Europe without the stress of competition!

Oliver, (German Champion, and 5th ranked world hang glider pilot) will guide you and share his knowledge of cross-country flying throughout Europe.  Oliver enjoys travelling throughout different countries, discovering new and interesting places to fly. Wake up to a new surrounding not having to worry about where to stay each night, how you’ll get picked, how you’ll get up the hill and where to go next.  You’ll start each day with a totally new adventure and landscape.

WHEN IT’S NOT ON:

Should the weather turn bad, we simply drive in the direction of the best weather, stopping along the way to discover new regions, culture, history, food and let's not forget beer and the famous European wineries.  We also make some side trips on-route and camp by some famous white water rafting sites, at Gorge du Tarn, mountain climb or simply stop off for an ice cream.  We’ll divert to any big flying events being held (St Hillaire, Free Flight, Red Bull Vertigo & Speed Run) should our pilots wish to experience them first hand.  You make it up as we go along.

We can also visit glider distributors along the way to the next launch site such as Skyline, Fly and More and Aerosport for you to have a peak at the latest equipment available.
