Schänis glider – Introduction to glider piloting

A gift voucher? What a great idea! From Schänis in the canton of St. Gallen, the take-off clearance is given and you’re in the air at the controls of our glider towed by a tug plane. After about 10 minutes of towing, you’ll separate from your tow-plane and enter the fascinating world of gliding… Pure pleasure. We also offer introductory flights in Dimona gliders. An instructor from our flying school will be at your side throughout the flight. Swissraft also offers other bases for flying a plane, helicopter, gyrocopter or microlight for the first time: in Bern-Belp for helicopter and airplane, but also in the Bernese Oberland at Gsteigwiler for helicopter, in Aargau at Buttwil for helicopter and airplane, in Grenchen in the canton of Solothurn for helicopter and powered glider, in the canton of Neuchâtel to La Chaux-de-Fonds by helicopter, in the canton of Lucerne to Pfaffnau by helicopter and to Sargans-Balzers by helicopter, in Thurgau to Sitterdorf by helicopter, in Graubünden to St. Moritz and to Samedan by helicopter. In the canton of Fribourg, in Épagny by helicopter and also by plane, in Ticino in Locarno by helicopter and plane, and in Lodrino by helicopter, in Zurich-Kloten and Fehraltorf by helicopter, near Basel in Freiburg/Breisgau in Germany by gyrocopter, as well as introductions to ultralights: ULMs.
