Bereits 2010 hat mich das Paragleit-Fieber gepackt und Jahr für Jahr wird dieses Hobby wichtiger in meinem Leben. Mittlerweile bin ich Fluglehrerin bei der Flugschule Aufwind und fliege bei internationalen Wettkämpfen, Weltmeisterschaften und Weltcups mit den besten Piloten der Welt um die Wette. Vor ein paar Jahren noch undenkbar, ist es jetzt plötzlich ganz normal im Spitzenfeld mit dabei zu sein. Dennoch geht es immer noch weiter, höher, schneller, besser...

 

Wie wohl fast jeder junger Paragleit-Pilot, bewunderte ich ehrfurchtsvoll die Athleten bei den Red Bull X-Alps. Als "Überpiloten" und Vorbilder waren sie einer der Hauptmotivatoren, besser und besser zu werden und die eigenen Grenzen zu erweitern. Während der letzten drei Editionen der Red Bull X-Alps hatte ich als Supporter bereits die Möglichkeiten, hinter die Kulissen zu Blicken. Neben dem immensen Aufwand den so ein Rennen bedeutet, konnte ich aber auch feststellen, dass selbst die besten Piloten irgendwann ganz am Anfang standen und sich ihr fliegerisches Geschick, ihre Fitness und mentale Stärke auch erst antrainieren mussten. Und nur jene, die nicht aufgeben und ständig besser werden, können sich irgendwann in der Königsdisziplin, den Red Bull X-Alps, aneinander messen.

 

Dabei sein kann  nicht einfach jeder. Aus den unzähligen Bewerbungen werden nur jene 35 Piloten ausgewählt, die sowohl fliegerisch ihr Können bereits bewiesen haben, als auch im alpinen Gelände sicher unterwegs sind und die nötige Fitness mitbringen. In den letzten Jahren habe ich daher konsequent trainiert und konnte außerdem einige gute Platzierungen bei Wettkämpfen erzielen. Diese Kombination bewog mich dazu, es einfach zu versuchen und eine Bewerbung abzugeben. Und nun ist es soweit: ich werde bei den nächsten Red Bull X-Alps an den Start gehen.

 

Aber was bedeutet das eigentlich? Die Red Bull X-Alps sind ein Hike & Fly Bewerb, bei dem die Athleten eine Strecke von über 1000km quer durch die Alpen zurücklegen müssen. Und das nur zu Fuß oder fliegend mit dem Paragleiter. Über unterschiedliche Wendepunkte, von denen man manche in der Luft passieren kann, bei anderen aber Landen und unterschreiben muss, führt die Strecke durch Österreich, Deutschland, die Schweiz, Italien, Frankreich oder vielleicht auch durch Slowenien. Die genaue Strecke wissen wir aber erst im März 2023. Die Tage gefüllt mit Wandern und Fliegen starten bereits um 5:00 Uhr früh und enden erst um 22:30 Uhr, und zwar genau dort, wo man sich gerade befindet. Es ist nicht erlaubt auch nur einen einzigen Meter der Strecke mit dem Auto zurück zu legen und sich mal kurz ausrasten.

 

Da ich bereits einige Male mit dabei war, ist mir der Aufwand bewusst, den dieses Rennen bedeutet. Nicht nur physisch sondern als Gesamtes. Ohne ein funktionierendes Team steht man als Athlet alleine im Regen und muss sich den Problemen selbst annehmen. Zusätzlich darf man auch die richtige Ausrüstung nicht außer Acht lassen, wenn es darum geht, das körperliche Wohlbefinden auch während dem Rennen zu gewährleisten. Angefangen vom Schlafplatz im Wohnwagen über die richtige physiologische Betreuung bis hin zur adäquaten Ernährung kommen einige Kostenfaktoren auf einen zu.

 

Und genau das ist der Punkt wo DU auf den Plan trittst. Mit einer Spende ermöglichst du es uns, den Fokus voll aufs Training und natürlich das Rennen selbst zu legen. Denn nur mit dem richtigen Team, guter Ausrüstung und der Zeit für effektives Training kann man auch ein gutes Rennen liefern. Die Unterstützungsgelder werden für Treibstoff, Miet-Camper, Verpflegung während dem Rennen und auch für Physiotherapie vor und während dem Rennen verwendet werden.

 

Egal wie groß dein Beitrag ist, der stete Tropfen höhlt den Stein. Ich freue mich über jeden bezahlten Liter Diesel, jede Mahlzeit während dem Rennen und jede Massage, die du mir und meinem Team ermöglichst. Aber natürlich geht nichts über eine Begleitung entlang des Weges, und so freue ich mich, wenn ich dich während dem Rennen vielleicht mal mit einem Schluck Wasser, einem Keks oder einfach nur motivierenden Worten am Straßenrand antreffe.

 

Verfolgen kannst du mein Training und das Rennen in den sozialen Netzwerken (@eliegger auf Instagram und Facebook) sowie auch auf www.redbullxalps.com.

I started paragliding in 2010 and driven by an ever growing passion I became an instructor and started competing internationally in 2016 until I reached the paragliding world cup. Just a few years ago it was still unthinkable to even be part of such a competition and today I fly against the strongest pilots in the world. It is a great achievement already but my nature pushes me to look for new challenges each day. 

Like many pilots I heard about the Red Bull X-Alps when I started paragliding. Looking at all those pilots from afar, motivated myself to get better and better. They were superheroes, idols, the best of the best. Getting to know all the people involved in the race made me realise all the effort needed to be part of it, but that still, all my celebreties are still humans who had to start as beginners one day. The Red Bull X-Alps are therefore the final peak you can reach as a hike & fly pilot, not only for the two weeks of competition but also for the effort required to prepare before that race.


The Red Bull X-Alps is not open to everyone, to participate you have to prove that you have the skills. I trained a lot in the last years and achieved great results in competitions so I decided to give it a try. I applied for participation like many other athletes and here I am: I will be an athlete at the next X-Alps, but still it seems like a dream.


The Red Bull X-Alps is a hike and fly race that crosses the alps. Each year there is a different route which starts from Austria and crosses the main ridge of the alps several times. Furthermore, the race is passing through different countries along the way like Germany, Switzerland, France, Italy or even Slovenia. Like in a regatta there are turnpoints to reach, some in flight, others on the ground where you need to sign a board. If the conditions are good you can fly more than hundred kilometres during the day, otherwise you must walk. From 5:00 am until 10:30 pm you are allowed to move, after this time you have to stay still and spend the night whereever you stopped.


I have been a supporter for three editions and I know the effort this adventure requires, not just physically. It is important to have the right team to deal with the problems that will inevitably arise. I also know about the importance of the right equipment to be able to manage the physical challenges, the difficulty of the few hours of rest during the race and to take care of the whole team. Starting with renting a camper van, over paying for the fuel, food and and tools needed for such a long race it requires a great deal of money.


And that's where YOU come in. Supporting me and my team with a donation enables us to focus on the training and the race itself. Because only with a well functioning team, the right equipment and enough time for training it's possible to achieve top results. The money raised in this campaign will be used to pay for the petrol-bills, rental costs of the race vehicles, nutrition during the race as well as medical treatment and physio therapy before and during the race.


You can be part of this adventure too, no matter if with a dinner or a few liters of petrol, any help is important for me and my team. And I would be really grateful. And of course, you can join us on the street with a piece of cake or something to drink, we will never say no.

You can follow the training and the race itself on my social channels (Instagram @eliegger, Facebook, Strava) and on www.redbullxalps.com.
