My name is Samuel Metzger, and I’ve been living at the foot of Mount Pilatus for over two decades. For me, this mountain is far more than an impressive backdrop—it’s my personal playground, my source of inspiration, and my second home. Whether climbing, highlining, hiking, spending nights outdoors, or paragliding: I’ve experienced Pilatus in all its facets and never lost my sense of wonder.
Besides flying, my second passion is photography and videography. That’s exactly why we were the first tandem-flight company in the region to offer professionally edited videos with music and multiple perspectives. Our premium video package captures your adventure in breathtaking quality—so you can relive it again and again.

There’s no strict age limit, but a basic level of fitness is required. Flying isn’t ideal for children under six, though it may be possible after prior consultation – as long as they meet the minimum height requirement of 1.20 meters.

Maximum height: 2.20 meters
Weight: 15 to 100 kg – Flights for passengers over 100 kg are possible on selected days with strong updrafts.
Please note: Flights must be done sober. For safety reasons, full responsiveness and decision-making ability are required.
Up to 48 hours before your flight, you can reschedule yourself or cancel for a 95% refund or a voucher—after that, the deposit is retained, and within 24 hours the flight is charged. (GTC)

Cancel until 48h before: Choose 95% refund or a voucher.
Less than 48h before: The deposit is kept to cover planning and short-notice cancellation costs.
Within 24h / no-show: The flight is charged and any voucher entitlement expires, as the slot can rarely be rebooked at such short notice.
As a tandem pilot on Pilatus, I’ve been taking guests from all over the world paragliding above Lucerne for many years. The combination of impressive mountain scenery, Lake Lucerne, and the thermals around Pilatus makes this one of the most spectacular flying areas in Switzerland.
Whether you’re looking for a private tandem flight as a gift, want to experience a special moment, or simply want to take off with me as an experienced tandem pilot—what matters to me is you as a person. I take time for your questions, for a solid briefing, and for your personal flight experience. No mass tourism, no rush—just real tandem paragliding in Switzerland as it should be: individual, safe, and unforgettable.
You can book your tandem flight with Samuel Metzger directly online—whether you choose a short glide or, when thermals and cross-country flying allow, stay in the air longer. I’ll fly with you when it fits—and only then.
Meet our tandem pilots here. With one click on “Book a flight with me now”, you’ll go straight to the pilot’s calendar where you can instantly check availability and book.
