For the third time after 2003 and 2009 a few paragliding pilots were able to topland on Mont Blanc. It is with 4810m the highest mountain in Europe.
For the third time after 2003 and 2009 a few paragliding pilots were able to topland on Mont Blanc. It is with 4810m the highest mountain in Europe!
The first pilot on the summit was Clément Latour, our French importer and X-Alps athlete. After him 5 other pilots landed on the alpine peak.
The IMPRESS 3 is ready for testing.
The IMPRESS 3 sets new standards for weight, comfort, aerodynamics and compactness, and introduces a new generation of reclined harnesses.
He's done it: Chrigel Maurer has just landed in Monaco to win the Red Bull X-Alps 2011!!
After crossing the entire European Alps using only his paraglider or his (very tired) feet, Chrigel probably doesn't need our new guidebook, Best Flying Sites of the Alps, but maybe you do! :o)
Read all about these awe-inspiring sites and have the ultimate reference book at your side when you travel to follow in the footsteps of the master...
We are happy to welcome Alex Höllwarth at our skywalk R&D team.

Development of the new glider for beginners and recreational pilots from ADVANCE, the ALPHA 5 is now complete. Deliveries will begin at the end of August...
The Sigma 8 is supposed to be “a top-performance intermediate with a high fun-factor ... with sportiness and dynamic handling paired with performance”. In other words it’s intended for the majority of the kind of pilots that leave the hill and go exploring. We’ve been around a few years and we’ve seen the marketing hype before. We probably aren’t going to buy a wing without being outflown by it first, so it has to really deliver on its promises and be a pleasure to fly...
