Last year we were happy to meet Christoph and Doris (from Austria) in Norway, during an XC competition. This year we decided to go to Rome the week before Easter – to meet Rinaldo who always is asking WHEN are you coming?! And now, when…
Die German Flatlands 2019 sind vorbei. Wetterbedingt konnten am Ende nur zwei Tasks geflogen werden. Der zweite gewertete Task (60km Race to Goal) war darum aber nicht weniger anspruchsvoll und spannend: Fluggelände “Altes Lager” bei Jüterbog – ein ehemaliger Militärflugplatz Nach dem vorherigen Regentag…
Like every year, I am participating in the Chabre Open. It’s a popular fun competition for wings from EN A to C. We started with a French record: 44 degrees C :-). Saturday was a test task. A small route to Veynes. I just made…
Since my beginnings in paragliding, I always have been fascinated by some pilots of my club telling stories about landing on the summit of Mont Blanc in 2012. I was wondering what kind of experience it would be and if I would be up…
Redbull-X-Alps – the ultimate adventure race! I’m absolutely fascinated by this race and I follow it as often as I can on the PC via live tracking. In Switzerland, the athletes had to fly or hike to Davos Turnpoint 6, then continue to the Titlis…

Nachdem ich schon seit vielen Jahren die Reiseberichte meines guten Freundes (Roberto Meier) verfolge, hat es heuer endlich gepasst und ich konnte gemeinsam mit Ulli Portugal erkunden. Laut unseren Recherchen sollten uns dort lange Soaringküsten, Spektakuläre Steilklippen über weißen Atlantikstränden, Badebuchten mit Startplatz direkt darüber…
Merry Christmas! Christmas greetings to all of you from the remoteness of the Island of Mull in the Northwest of Scotland. Mull is a spectacular place with great wildlife and some amazing flying sites nobody has really flown before. Yesterday Lena and I went to…
In October 2018, I made a paragliding trip to Bir in India. Of course, I tried to find some information online prior to the trip. Considering so many pilots travelling there, I found surprisingly little on the web. That is why I would like to…
