WANDERBIRD Adventure - a journey that will change your life!

You carry what you need. You sleep where you want - in your glider, your tent or in a hotel.
You decide when to push or when to rest - when to hike or when to fly. Adventure is defined by yourself.

It’s not a race, it’s a personal journey to test your integrity - your knowledge, your mindset, and your connection to nature.

Adventure for everybody
Based on your self-assessment of your abilities within the Adventure journey, you define your own goals and choose your route and your turnpoint.
This is about you

It’s about the quality of your decisions and your ability to navigate in the Alps with nothing but your gear, your strategy and your courage to find your path.

Not a Competition

No rankings, no podiums - just a safe return to your starting point.
You define your own timing, your own mission.

Self-Supported by Design​

 

We believe everyone deserves the chance to live and complete an extraordinary experience like the idea of the WANDERBIRD Adventure.

​

Westendorf, Tirol is the meeting point for all Adventurer - a place where your journey begins and where you return.

From there, a straight westward line follows the highest mountains of the Alps, crossing Piz Arina, Piz Uccello, Matterhorn and much more.​ The line serves as a reference. It defines your mission.

The real path is yours to draw.

​

As we connect the dots, we follow not only the geographical backbone of the Alps, but also a natural weather divide - with north and south Alps often living in different conditions. Every decision you make, reveals its consequence over time. 

 

Based on your self-assessment within the framwork of the WANDERBIRD Adventure, there are some suggestions for planing your mission:

  • Fun (~300 km)

  • Tour (~500 km)

  • Hero (~800 km)​

​

The WANDERBIRD Adventure is fully self-supported:

  • your feet, carry your glider,

  • or your glider, carries you.

​​

No ground crews.

No organized support.

No individual media teams following the Adventurers.​

Publicly available and equally accessible resources can be used.​​

This is not about restriction, but about honoring the purest spirit of the WANDERBIRD Adventure idea: being able to take all circumstances into account and handling them

responsibly and self-sufficient is the highest level of skill.​

Your Development, Your Responsibility

The WANDERBIRD Adventure is more than a journey - it’s a self-coaching framework. Through the preparation workbook, the Academy platform, and the community, you develop your own strategy, define your boundaries, and build the skills to navigate the Alps autonomously. After your return, we offer individual track analysis to help you reflect on your decisions and grow as a pilot.
