From 0 to 100 km/h in just under 3 seconds!
Experience the thrill of gliding and soar with us almost silently over the rooftops of Olten.
Have you always dreamed of flying in a glider or discovering the Olten region from a bird’s-eye view? Then you’ve come to the right place. This weekend, we cordially invite you to our airfield in Gheid.
As a passenger, you’ll experience an impressive winch launch: In less than three seconds, the glider accelerates to about 100 km/h and climbs steeply into the sky. You’ll then enjoy a nearly silent flight over Olten and the surrounding countryside.
There’s plenty to discover on the ground, too: You can view our gliders up close, and our pilots will be happy to answer any questions you have about gliding and our club.
We offer drinks and ice cream in our café. We’d love for you to stick around a while after your flight and enjoy the special atmosphere at our airfield.
We look forward to sharing our passion for flying with you and introducing you to our fascinating sport.
