Challenge Race ED.1 / ED.2 Eduard Matus Slovakia

I enjoy adventures and I had a lot of fun in the previous editions of Eigertour. I learn something new every time and the region is a beautiful place to spend a few days roaming with a paraglider. And many of my friends are signed up as well :)

Challenge Race ED.4 Pontus Egnell Sweden

I love paragliding, mountains and running. Looking forward to this great adventure.

Subir Sidhu United States of America

With a background in Alpine climbing having done the classic climbers Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt and a successful self guided ascent of Mont Blanc, I was naturally attracted to Hike & Fly when I started paragliding. I have since climbed and flown from a number of undeveloped sites in the USA and in the Indian Himalayas. Last year I participated in and completed all tasks in the inagural XRedRocks, the first Hike & Fly competition in the USA. I look forward to flying in the Eiger Tour Academy Performa to learn and develop into a future Challenge athelete.

Haas Jürg Switzerland

-Airline Pilot
-Sailplane competition pilot, swiss national team member
-Worldwide paragliding/hike&fly adventures
Thanks to my job, I’m lucky to experience many adventures on my rotations in well-known and completely unknown areas worldwide. My experience of almost 20 years of high level gliding is the fundamental basis and an essential part of my risk management. I usually prefer cross-country flying at every opportunity. However, a nice experience or adventure and having fun is the only really important thing for me.

Edoardo Colombo Italy

I love the refuge cake, but maybe 18 slices are too many...

Challenge Race ED.4 Kai Nowak Germany

Ich liebe das Hike and Fly! Nur durch meine Kraft und der der Natur vorwärts zu kommen. An Orten landen an den man sonst nie gelandet wäre. Und das alles in einen Bewerb gepackt wo man selber daran wächst oder auch seine Grenzen findet, das liebe ich!

Challenge Race ED.4 Dominik Asteiner Austria

Good judgement comes from experience - Experience comes form bag judgement. From the day I started paragliding until today, launching and landing have always been the most exciting parts of the flight for me. The idea to have a competition which challenges the skills during this flight phases is brilliant from my point of view. This thrill combined with the beautiful surrounding scenery is the perfect mix for my personal adventure in 2021.

Challenge Race ED.4 / ED.5 Dornauer Benedikt Austria

Learning paragliding at the paragliding school of my uncle at early age was big luck for me. I was able to follow my dream of flying since i was a young boy. I learned acro paragliding, as well as cross country, but the most impressive way, I found out for me, are hike and fly advantures.
I am also flying sailplane but nothing comes more to the feeling of flying than paragliding in perfect thermal conditions.
I want to participate in this fantastic race to gain more of this feeling and to extend my experience of hike and fly adventures.

For hike and fly racing, I have competed in the Tarentair Tour 2021 where I placed 9/42.

I have a good cross country paragliding track record with a 300km flight, several 200km+ flights and 100km+ flights, including some in the Alps. I was US EN-C cross country league champion in 2018. I have flown in comps with FAI points.

I practice regularly mountaineering with serious climbs like Denali or Mont Black under my belt. I’m also a regular rock climber (sport and trad, multi pitch) and backcountry skier (ski instructor for 10 years) and trail runner.

I have always been keen to explore new launches and places to fly since I started to fly in 2013. I hike to fly xc regularly in the mountains and make my own decisions. My experience and fitness is great for such an event!

Challenge Race ED.4 Anesh Narsai New Zealand

I achieved my paragliding endorsement in 2016 as a means for descending mountains during solo pursuits. Upon realising the potential of hike & fly paragliding, I retired from all other mountain sports to focus on this format of paragliding - I can’t wait to test my skill in the Swiss Alps during the Eiger Tour event!

Challenge Race ED.1 / ED.2 / ED.3 Tom Payne United Kingdom

I've been flying for over 20 years and absolutely loved the Eiger Tour in 2018. It felt like playing to the true strengths of a paraglider: flying from mountain to mountain, the flexibility to take off and land almost anywhere, and rewarding self-contained hiking through spectacular scenery.

Challenge Race ED.2 Michel Joulot France

Always ready to discover new hike&fly places ... even if it turns into hike&hike ... and really willing to check if any differences in the huts atmosphere and fondue between the Vercofly and the Eigertour.

Challenge Race ED.2 Christof Graber Switzerland

Das Hike & Fly im Hochalpinengelände mach mir sehr viel Spass, ich freue mich dies am Eigertour 2020 mit anderen Piloten teilen zu können.

I’m super excited to explore this relatively unfamiliar area by foot and air. Loving the concept of the Vercofly I’m sure the Eigertour will be excellent!

E1... E2... E3... E4...
Every year slogging up some trail in the rain and fog, cold, wet, tired, and grumpy I promise myself that this is the last Eiger Tour I do. Then when in January the sign-up email pops up for the next event, I am as excited as a kid opening a Christmas box. In E1 for me, we were a bunch of strangers competing against each other. Now we are all just a bunch of friends playing outside, swearing at Witschi, laughing and howling in the thermals :D Can't wait!

Zum dritten mal dabei im 2020! Begeisterung, Vorfreude, Leidenschaft. Dies sind die Schlüsselbegriffe welche zur Vorbereitung der ET 03/2020 mich motivieren.

ED.2 was the most difficult thing I've ever done with my paraglider, but it was an incredible experience of extreme highs and lows. physically and mentally. I learned a lot and am ready to challenge myself again.

Pro Race ED.2 / ED.3 / ED.4 / ED.5 Michael Mimo Moratti Switzerland

Eigertour for me is a test of perseverance and endurance, a game of chess played with shoes and paraglider. Ultimately one does not want to give in while struggling forward attempting to reach the goal in Grindelwald.

Academy Performa ED.4 Bertschmann Markus Switzerland

Great way to explore the bernese alps and get to know the nice mountain huts.

Challenge Race ED.2 Luca Veronesi Italy

I would like to take part to the Eigertour 2019 because I think that this wonderful unsupported adventure race would be great to push my limits a bit further, in a beautiful part of the Alps, having the chance to share it with friends.

Challenge Race ED.4 Widmer Roland Switzerland

Es gibt wahrscheinlich keinen schöneren Weg das Berner Oberland zu erkunden. Ich freue mich auf die persönliche Herausforderung und auf ein Abenteuer mit vielen Gleichgesinnten.

Challenge Race ED.4 Matthias Helm Germany

Cant wait to taste all the Cake on all the Huts!

Challenge Race ED.2 Bendicht Erb Switzerland

It told me the lessons i needed on my way and gave me many moments of freedom between ground and clouds. The backyard of Interlaken is probably one of the most beautiful playground for hike&fly and alpinism. Each Hike&Fly Race is a true mirror of my mental and physical skills. So it's time to face them once again. Thanks a lot to the Eigertour-Crew to bring the Vercofly to Grindelwald.
