Funnily enough, I have a fear of heights and flying so how it is that I found myself on a course to learn paragliding is somewhat beyond me but I don't regret it one bit. I hadn't even done a tandem flight before (I still haven't). Mike and Stu have designed a fantastic system for teaching even the most nervous flyers how to get down safely, and they, along with the rest of the team (Andres, Guy and Pavel) are incredibly knowledgeable and reassuring. I did the two weeks 'Beginner to Club Pilot' course and loved every second of it, from the great team, the flying and the absolutely breathtaking scenery. I wouldn't have changed a thing. They've planted the paragliding bug in me and I will be forever grateful. If you're on the fence about it, just do it. You couldn't be in safer, friendlier, and more reassuring hands.…

Through word of mouth, I heard about this paragliding school and I was not disappointed. Mike and Stu run a very professional operation and all their instructors are top-notch. I signed up for the elementary pilot 5-day course which consisted of 2 days of ground handling and theory followed by 3 days of solo flying. For all your flights the instructors are in constant radio contact with you and help to make the intro to a pretty gnarly and scary sport considerably more relaxing. If you would like to learn how to paraglide or even go for a tandem jump, I couldn't recommend these guys highly enough. Thank you for introducing me to the unique, and quite frankly, awe-inspiring experience of solo paragliding.…

On the 1st of August I had my first paraglide experience in Verbier, CH. After researching online for schools/ tandem flight places in Verbier, I thought I would be better off asking the locals for their suggestion. All people suggested euphorically that the best no doubt is Verbier Summits - the "twins" Mike and Stu. At La Ruinette, William (Ice Cube Bar) suggested, checked and forwarded me Mike's contact. Shortly after while walking down the mountain, by coincidence we see Mike and Guy (one of his team member) were preparing their gears for a tandem flight. I felt very welcome to stay and watch the take off. It was WOW. Calming. Three days later, it was my turn. Mike was my pilot, Guy and a third team member Pawel were expecting other individuals booked. One the moment arrives, I hear this guy saying that this was actually his second time that week and he was on doing it again because his first experience he was the whole time face-timing his family on air - ?!? Although an odd thing to do, this business man mid-age looking man is the ultimate prove of how safe they make us feel. I am in love with paragliding. I am now starting the Pilot Book Mike recommended for me to start learning and soon enough taking Verbier Summits Paragliding courses to fly and experience ultimate self freedom. Inspiring experience and a team of professional and cool guys. NOTE: Verbier Summits PARAGLIDING and COVID-19 safe - everyone wears masks, so dont forget yours!…
