Bachmaier

Benjamin Bachmaier (*1991 in Upper Bavaria) obtained his glider pilot license at the age of 16 in Königsdorf. His career in competitive soaring led him to the German junior national team and to long-distance flights across three continents. His specialty, mountain gliding, has earned him several German class records in the Northern Alps. In addition, he is actively involved as a flight instructor and cross-country flight coach, striving to inspire other glider pilots through media projects (“Late Night Soaring,” “flugfieber”) and lectures.

Peak Soaring

Mastering Mountain Gliding

Circling in thermals above snow-covered peaks. Gliding along rocky cliffs, carried by calm ridge lift. Gazing down on cloudbanks from 6,000 metres in the wave. In the mountains, perhaps the most fascinating sport in the world reaches its peak.
