Interview
Do you remember your first flight? How was it?
My first flight was in 2001, a tandem flight on the Arlberg and my first solo flight was in Schnifis-from Hensler into the valley. I can still remember very well how it felt to take off and fly for the first time. Simply awesome!
What moments make flying worthwhile?
My best flying experience was a sunset flight in Norcia/Umbria in Italy and the glide back to Val di Mello, Italy, after an exhausting bigwall climbing day on the Qualido.
Your three top flying areas?
In my home region Arlberg/Vorarlberg and Monte Cucco in Italy.
What are you doing on a day that is not flyable?
Climbing, of course!
Why do you fly for ADVANCE?
The PI was my first glider. I am very happy with the handling, the quality and the feeling of flying. My personal No.1 mountain glider.
What is your favourite food?
Lasagna
What is your favourite quote in life?
