Hugo Tschurtchenthaler (pronounced “church-in-taller) took up residence just south of Golden in 1996.
Born and raised in northern Italy, Hugo started hang gliding and paragliding and was also a Tandem pilot in the Dolomites of Italy. He quickly fell in love with the portability and mobility of the paraglider and has flown paragliders at many of the best sites in Europe. Upon relocating to Golden, Hugo quickly earned admiration and respect among other pilots for his paragliding skills and his abilities to consistently make exceptionally long cross-country flights through the mountains. He is a rated paragliding instructor and tandem pilot. Hugo won the Canadian National Paragliding Championships in 1997 competing against Canadian, US and a sprinkling of visiting Asian and European pilots.
Theo Tschurtschenthaler is Hugo’s son. He grew up immersed in the paragliding world experiencing his first Tandem with his dad at 3 years of age. He started solo paragliding 12 years ago and has been a rated paragliding instructor and tandem pilot for several years. He travels often to other countries to fly and is always excited to share his passion.
