About
Thomas has been a paraglider pilot from the very beginning, and one of ADVANCE's first employees as a test pilot and photographer. But he is also a celebrated adventurer and has undertaken countless expeditions to Patagonia, Greenland, America, Tibet and the Arctic. He is particularly fond of the Arctic: he has crossed it -1,400 km on foot, skis and kayak. For this, he received the “Adventurer 2018” award from National Geographics Magazine.

Interview
What moments make flying worthwhile?
I find the element of air something special, and it has its own completely unique challenges: to be deep in a Berner Alpine side valley about to land, then with a lot of patience to find a thermal and be hovering above the 4,000-metre peaks is the best thing!
Your three top flying areas?
Berner Oberland, Berner Oberland, Berner Oberland
What are you doing on a day that is not flyable?
Besides flying I still do paraglider tandems. Actually, I’m always flying!
If this doesn’t work out, I’m a mountain guide, and organise tours to the North Pole or Greenland. In the meantime, I also work as a photographer or go hunting.
Why do you fly for ADVANCE?
I was involved with Advance from the beginning, a few times as a test pilot, and later as a photographer. For me there’s no better paraglider brand, no question! :-)
What is your favourite food?

What is your favourite quote in life?
"Follow your path"
