Chrigel Maurer is the high flyer of the paragliding scene.

Chrigel Maurer (40) remains the dominator of the paragliding scene. The Bernese Oberlander celebrates his 8th consecutive victory in the toughest paragliding race in the world and sets a new record.

The 40-year-old crosses the finish line in Zell am See (Austria) after 6 days, 6 hours and 1 minute. No one has ever completed the X-Alps in such a short time. After 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2021, this year he continues his series of successes in international races.
