Hi extreme families!
Last weekend my brothers and sisters with their friends and children we drove to bad ausee for making a short holiday together.
we slept at the josefinum which is hosted by the kreuzschwestern.
This pension was very attractive and for our family perfect because we could use the breakfast room for our partys 😉
we could also use the playground for playing with the children!
on saturday we drove up to the loser restaurant were we hiked up on the snow to the loser.
josef were the brave man who did a tandem parachute flight with me over this region!
what a nice scenery!
Then we drove to Grundlsee and did a hike to the toplitzsee which is famous for its pretended treasure of gold.
we very lucky to get some good grilled fish 😉

on the last day we climbed some crazy adrenaline parcours at the hochseilkletterpark in altausee
Thanks for this great family weekend!
Hi extreme tandem paragliding freaks!
this day oliver, tom, steffi, martin, alex and me drove to weng for hiking up to the mittagskogel.
in the valley was a lot of fog but we were lucky to had a sunny but on the top a litle bit cold day.
at the top martin started his gin yak 16.5m² speedflyer. he went up really fast.
the rest of the group decided to go downwards and tried another starting place.
safety first is our slogan!
alex and me started with no step forward our tandem parachute…
the wind was really good.
next time i will open the trimmer.
we had a really great flight down to weng (gesäuse) where the fog got lifted.
alex was happy and perhaps next we have another passionate paraglider in the ennstal ;))
thanks oliver to this great idea..
cya in the sunny mountans

Hi extreme summer retreatment people.
Last weekend Summitsurfer Patrick and I hiked up to the Schafberg from the Fürberg beach in st. gilgen.
we needed 3 hours with our big mama.
the view from the top of the schafberg was so amazing.
the paragliders philipp and jens joined us at the top. they drove up with the schafbergbahn.
We visited the mountain mass “Schafbergmesse” at 11am and at midday we couldn’t wait anymore and patrick and i started the big mama (tandem parachute) and flew to sankt gilgen.
we were not happy to exaggerate the mountain top but had a really great flight with our buddys.
Then we hiked of the falkenstein back to the fürberg were we did a relaxing swimming.
but after a while we moved to sankt gilgen and drove up with the 12er Horn to the 12er Horn (1522m).
Patrick and i did a nice Zero wind start with the big mama glider and finally enjoyed a 30 minutes flight in this amazing stunning area.
thanks for this wonderfull weekend and cya at the beach…

Hi extreme chillers!
last week marlene and i drove to switzerland for vacation!
first day we did a hiking tour to the jakobshorn (2950m).
then we drove to grindelwald near the eiger, mönch and jungfrau.
what a wonderful region!
we drove with the cable car to the top of the first and hiked up 2 hours. there we started the schwarzhorn via ferrata. it is very nice for getting started into the via ferrata climbing.
unfortunately at the top of the schwarzhorn(2928m) our mountain was covered. but after the lunch we hiked down to the first cable car station. mike an english 75 years old guy introduced us the grindelwald flying region. marlene and i did a tandem parachute flight in front of the eiger. what a great amazing flight we had. 😉
on wednesday we took the famous jungfraubahn to alpiglen and hiked up to the northwall of the eiger. there we could see many wingsuitflyers flying down from the mushroom on eiger.
i took many pictures from the northwall of the eiger. so if someone wanted to climb this famous mountain just give me an email. i will send you the detailed pictures.
in the evening we drove to lauterbrunnen to the schützenbach camping whích was very quit.
the crazy thing there is the valley has 72 waterfalls and it is famous for their bigwalls for basejumping and speedflying.
on thursday we took the cablecar to mürren and we climbed the via ferrata mürren
There were 3 very nice outstanding views on this tour and we had to pass the via ferrata exit.
after coffee time we flew with the tandem parachute back to the valley.
near the cable car we met speedflyer alastair(can) and eva (d) and kevin and peter (ch). on the next day i, marlene, alainstair and eva drove to mülenen. we went by cable car up to the niesen(2362m). alainstair and i had a great flight downwards after a traverse and some seconds through the clouds with our speedgliders.
then we drove to the interlaken for beaching at the thuner see.
at the evening we visited a slideshow from the mustagh ata expedtion last year from bruno petroni. i met there also wilhelm and xaver. btw: thanks for the great reunion 😉
on saturday we drove to luzern. here we hiked up with the wannabe swiss guy daniel to the pilatus. there you could see six lakes near luzern. what a wonderful place. i was lucky to start my spitfire on the esel (2119m) and flew down to the vierwaldstätter see.

Hi extreme flight casualties!
This Day i resumed work after 14 weeks of rehabilitation of my accident with my parachute at the burgspitz on the first of december 2011.
I hiked up with 3 friends to the burgspitz(1429m asl) near weyer.
it was a great day for parachuting.
after my friends started with their parachute i decided to go to the summit and started there my hybrid parachute (17m²).
there were no clouds but i could see the wind was blowing uphill. so felt good to start my glider at the steep channel.
the glider shot very fast to the front and something to the left side. i decided not to stop the launch process and ran below the glider.
i started to fly but then i got hit by a rotor (lee) and i sank, then i had to turn right very fast otherwise i hit the trees. so i did a pendulum into the steep channel where i hit by the left. aaaaaaaaaa.
i realised that there was something with my foot so i packed my glider into my backpack and hiked up about 20m’s to the summit because i had no mobile access.
at the summit i was able to reach the mountain rescue which sent me the christophorus 15. the christophorus team did a nice service and so i had a nice flight to the hospital.
after the ct and xray i heard the diagnostics that i had a talus fracture of my left foot with torn ligament. the doctor told me it was a serious injury and it was not sure to get the full function after recovery again. it was a shock for life.
10 days later dr. charly w. did a great job and reconstructed my ancle with 2 screws and one drill wire to fix the talus with the heel bone. after 8 weeks of immobilization of my left foot they team of the accident team removed the drill wire with a second operation.
at 4th. oder december i drove to althofen for 3 weeks for rehabilitation to learn again walking after 10 weeks walking on crutches.
i was happy to got a nice room mate. he was arno from vienna. he’s motorbiking on his mind. so we got along wonderfully and had a lot of fun while eating and sining carinthian folk songs with our ladies from carinthia ida and angela. the time was great because of hard training and great progress.
at christmas eve we celebrated a nice party with a good gala dinner. yummy. at new year’s eve marlene and me we did a bivouac beside the breitofener hütte at 1520m above sea level in a wonderful winter landscape. thank you for this unforgetable time.
thanks to everyone at reha althofen. i felt being in very good hands.
i also have to say thank you to rainer my physical therapist who did a wonderful job with looking after me.
Health isn’t everything, but everything is nothing without health.
Take care! See you in the air….
Gaspadar!
This sommer i did a mountain expedtion in china to the mustagh ata (7546m) with ruefa bergreisen.
my plan was to go up by skies to the summit and fly down with the speedglider.
the chances were about 30% to fly down from the top. nevertheless i wanted to try this action.
i got a new glider from swing – the hybrid sport 17.
so we started at 27th of july in munich and flew over moscow to bishkek in kirgisia.
our guide alex – we called him “manager” from the mountain agency tien shan travel picked us up at the airport on the morning and we drove directly to naryn which is a city on the silk road. on the next day we drove to the touragat pass (3752m) and entered china after many checkpoints (in kirgisa we had 4 to manage or wait….)
at the chinese boarder we had to carry all our luggage some meters over the border line to the already waiting truck.
fortunately the streets in china were better then in kirgisia so we had a more or nice time on the road with our new guide (mr. kong) from the mountain agency in kashgar.
after a x-ray session from the whole luggage at the chinese checkpoint we arrived at half past 7 in kashgar at our hotel. first we had to carry up our luggage to the room, but then we were happy to enjoy our first dinner at the chinese restaurant. a strange thing was, that it is normal too bring the drinks from the shops to the restaurant…. good idea – isn’t it?
we did nice and hot sight seeing in kashgar city and bought the rest for the expedition.
on saturday night suddenly there drove amor-cased water gun cars across the streets. on the morning we heard that there were some terror attacks from the uygur people with 8 murdered people. thats an ethnic minority group here. here in xinjiang region there are about 50 minority groups. you can imagine the different culture what you can see here. some days later there was an terror attack in kashgar with 14 murdered people. crazy. nobody recognised here in europe.
nevertheless we reached on the karakorum highway after a long travel the village subashi (3726m). at the evening we could see the massive mountain mustagh ata.
here we are…..
we had a nice dinner outside and enjoyed the great energy from the mountain. the night we slept in a yurt which was great and warm with our sleeping bags.
on tuesday the 1st of august the camels get packed and after breakfast we hiked in 4 hours to our basecamp (4530m). during the day the temperature rise up to 25°C. what a hot area here. but when clouds has covered the sky the temperature falled down rapidly…..
next stories coming soon – now its weekend.
Hi extreme summer chillers!
On Wednesday 24.7.2011 i start an Expedition to the Mustagh Ata (7546m) in China.
I fly to Bishkek in Kirgisia and we’ll drive on the silk road to china.
Then we do some walking with the camels to the base camp.
We have 3 weeks for climbing to the the summit with our skis.
Hopefully the wind is less and it will come from the right side then i will launch my new speed flyer. The new Hybrid Sport from Swing with 17m².
Have a look at the great line there! yihaaaaaaa
Actual tracking from Bernhard to the summit of Mustagh Ata.
