Soaring Around the World
Surrounded by snowcapped peaks you glide effortlessly on unseen thermals above the Swiss Alps. The vantage point is from the reclined co-pilot’s seat of a high performance sailplane. A gentle rush of air is all that breaks the silence. Long graceful wings slice through thin Alpine air. Each day is a special adventure carefully planned and expertly executed by Voyager Worldwide staff and soaring centers picked to savor the most prestigious locations in the world. Whether it’s the Alps of Austria, Switzerland and Southern Germany or the famous Sierra Nevada mountain wave in the United States, we take you there to experience the magic of silent flight. Expert instructor pilots take you through instruction, or just sit back, turn on your iPod and drink in the sights and sensations. These sleek high-tech sailplanes are the world’s most efficient flying machines. With sink speeds that give them the ability to glide 40 or more miles from an altitude of just one mile they are safe and easy to fly. It is possible to loiter at 40 to 50 mph or lower the nose and watch the airspeed push 140. Special aerobatic flights can be arranged to introduce you to a sailplane’s graceful display of aerial agility.
Voyager combines the best soaring with the finest hotels and cuisine in the most spectacular settings available. Each trip is custom designed to take maximum advantage of local culture including wine tasting, balloon flights, helicopter hiking in remote alpine country, golf or ground tours exploring ancient castles. Your team of qualifiers will enjoy only the finest service in the air and on the ground as you soar with Voyager…Worldwide.
