Michel was born with a love of the mountains and flying, which is quite natural when your father is a mountain guide, hang-glider and glider pilot. His flying career began with gliding before he decided to take up the “simplest” form of flying. Within a very short time, he was able to transfer his extensive knowledge from flying to paragliding.
He is now one of Germany’s best acrobatic pilots. He owes this above all to his extremely talented “little hand” and his boundless motivation. He demonstrated this skill in 2021 at the toughest paragliding competition, the Red Bull X-Alps. As a committed member of the Oberstdorf mountain rescue service, he knows the Allgäu peaks like the back of his hand.
