I started paragliding in 2011 in order to obtain my pilot’s license, which I successfully achieved at the end of 2012. A year and a half after obtaining it, during a thermal flight in Fiesch, I had a real scare when I was sucked into a cumulonimbus cloud. It led to the longest minutes of my life... In shock upon landing, this frightening experience made me stop flying for almost seven years. In August 2020, the urge to fly suddenly came back. I bought some equipment and started flying again. After a day at the training hill, I found myself, not without fear, at the Croix de Cœur takeoff in Verbier the next day for my return flight. I inflate my glider… hold it steady… run a few meters, and finally take off—and I say to myself… what a joy! I even wondered why I hadn’t persisted after my fright, because the feeling of flying like a bird is truly exceptional! But in reality, my body and mind simply didn’t want to continue after that incident. This break turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because now my paragliding addiction is very real and brings me so much joy. The shared joys, the great encounters, and the happiness written on the faces of students and people I fly with are the main reasons that make me want to turn it into my profession. I then decided to train as a tandem pilot and instructor. My fears from that stressful situation turned into strengths. I even made it a guiding principle to be able to practice paragliding as long as possible without ever experiencing such a situation again. That’s also one of the reasons why I set myself the goal of obtaining my paragliding instructor’s license—to help raise awareness among new pilots about the risks involved in this discipline. My motto now is:
