My name is Ronald Walther.

For almost fifteen years, paragliding has not let me go and has shaped my life in wonderful ways ever since. My first flights took place in a course on the Wasserkuppe (Germany) — the beginning of a great passion.

Over the years, I have specialized in paraglider control, particularly in strong winds. Flying at the dunes has become one of my favorite disciplines.

Today, I work as a flight instructor, sharing my knowledge — and, of course, my enthusiasm for this fascinating sport — with great joy and passion.

Safety while flying

For the safty of all, here an overview of the SERA Collision Avoidance Rules.

Paraglider Control Workshops Basic & Advanced

Your paraglider as a friend, the wind as your helper — and a wide grin on your face

That’s exactly what you’ll find in my workshops: To enjoy the experience of flying and feel truly secure under the paraglider, you’ll learn to understand your paraglider — not just hold onto it, but control it. Step by step, I will show you techniques to build confidence and gain stability — even in strong winds. What may start as hesitation or uncertainty will transform into ease and control with your paraglider in the wind.

The exercises are individually tailored to your skill level and personal goals — whether you are just starting your license training or looking to refine your skills as a licensed pilot.
