Klemens Karácsonyi

austria

Klemens was introduced to paragliding by a friend in 2014. His first 10 seconds’ airtime on the training slope changed his life! He says he’ll never forget looking back down at the take-off from his first thermal, and since then he’s been always striving for flying longer, higher, further! On 2 May 2026, he flew a 241km FAI triangle on his CURE 3in the Zillertal, achieving a long-standing dream by breaking the 200km barrier. He qualified as a tandem pilot in 2021, and now has the pleasure of sharing the beauty of paragliding with anyone who is willing to try.
