'The sport of Hike & Fly connects you with nature and lets you take responsibility for yourself. These are basics for personal development towards consciousness.
We believe that developing this sport and also the community with this values, we will make a positive impact in this world.
We ‚live‘ hike & fly since many years and by creating professional WANDERBIRD Hike & Fly Events for all Pilots, we want to promote our sport even more and give back to the community what we have learned!'
Paul Guschlbauer
Playing the game of hike & fly means playing a game with the elements. The fire of the sun, the shape of the earth and our atmosphere create unique, mostly invisible paths that WANDERBIRDs want to find and use efficiently. Join the community to stay up to date on how to improve your Hike & Fly experience.
Wanderbird was founded by Paul Guschlbauer, seven-time Red Bull X-Alps participant and passionate Hike & Fly pilot.
Our definition of Hike & Fly is simple and accessible: You take your backpack, hike to the launch site, and consciously decide whether to fly or not. Regardless of your decision – it was a Hike & Fly experience.
OUR VISION
We work for a world where people live in connection with nature, make conscious decisions based on their own authority, and act in harmony with nature – not against it.
