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…
Das NOVA Flachland Pilotenteam wurde 2019 um Monika Gschwendtner (nicht verwandt mit dem ‘großen’ Sepp) und mich (Stefan Weber) erweitert. Damit hat sich ein leichter, geographischer Schwerpunkt in Ostbayern ergeben und zusammen mit der günstigen Wetterprognose wurde kurzentschlossen das Teamtreffen in den Bayerwald gelegt. Wir…
I put on my shirt and my ring – the one my love gave to me. The earrings that I inherited from my aunt. The wire with the winged pendant that my friend gave to me when I turned 50 years old. I put on…
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.

Hi Friends from the NPT, many of you asked me to upload the funny videos cheers that those team pilots had sent who couldn’t attend. Well, here we go. As these videos show how muich fun we have, I decided to put them on the…
Working as a paragliding instructor has many priviledges. One of them is to be able to wake up early in the morning and see the morning mist slowly and beautifully evaporate while heading to a local airfield. It often makes me feel sorry for the…
German Flatlands 2018 – ein richtig echter Wettbewerb – dass ich das mal mitmache, hätte ich vor zwei Jahren noch gar nicht geglaubt. Das „Alte Lager“ war mir als sagenumwobener Gleitschirm-Hotspot schon lange ein Begriff, und Thoralf hat mich motiviert: Einfach mal mitmachen, Erfahrung sammeln,…
