Interview

DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR FIRST FLIGHT?

Sort of...but I remember my ninth flight from Mont Blanc very well. We climbed the Peutery Integral, took off from the summit and landed in Chamonix.

WHAT MOMENTS MAKE FLYING WORTHWHILE?

From the Eiger summit with Lucien Caviezel

YOUR THREE TOP FLYING AREAS?

Engadin, Jungfrau Region and Entlebuch

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON A DAY THAT IS NOT FLYABLE?

Climbing or a bit of ground handling

MOST IMPORTANT PARAGLIDING SUCCESSES?

Accident-free flying at many new mountains

WHY DO YOU FLY FOR ADVANCE?

Because I think the PI 16 is the best mountain climber’s wing! The passion and quality of the company impresses me a lot. There’s cool team behind ADVANCE – always ready with helpful tips.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD?

Pizza, Fondue and Seaspiracy Shushi until the Netflix came out!

WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO IN LIFE?

It’s all about passion!

This is Cerro Torre

The 3,000+ metres high granite needle on the rim of the Patagonian Ice Sheet exerts a strong attraction for alpinists. This spectacular rock tower is considered one of the most difficult and at the same time most beautiful peaks in the world because of its steep, smooth walls and icy upper section. The trio of Roger Schäli, Mario Heller and Pablo Pontoriero not only want to climb the mountain: they want to take off from the top.
