THIRD TIME A CHARM?
The Red Bull X-Alps is the most challenging and awe-inspiring paragliding race that exists and may be the wildest and coolest adventure race on Earth. Of course I’m jaded as I’ve done it twice, but I can confirm that at its core it is 100% diabolical. It’s known as the “toughest adventure race on Earth” because… well - it’s diabolical!

KIS, EVEN WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD
Red Bull X-Alps requires constant focus across the board. We dedicate a lot of time and effort to preparing for the event, adapting our strategy to the requirements of each individual day. A lot of processes run simultaneously, so we always focus on what’s most important. That’s why our motto is: KIS (Keep it simple), even when it comes to food.
