Celine Lorenz is a prominent German mountaineer and paraglider pilot, known for her passion and dedication to mountain sports. In 2023, she was crowned German National Paragliding Champion, cementing her position among the elite of free flight.
It all began when she was 11 years old, with a tandem flight her mother gave her as a birthday present. That experience sparked an unstoppable passion for free flying in Celine. And now, it’s an essential part of her life. Hike & Fly, Cross Country or competition: Celine enjoys all disciplines, although her current focus is on XC flying and Hike & Fly, where she has achieved some of her greatest successes.
One of the most important milestones in her career came in 2022, when she became the first woman in history to complete the demanding
Dolomiti Super Fly Hike & Fly race, crossing the Dolomites (Italy) in six days, solely on foot and flying by paraglider.
In 2023, she was selected to take part for the first time in the
Red Bull X-Alps, the toughest Hike & Fly competition in the world. Although an ankle injury forced her to withdraw from the race, her competitive spirit did not end there. She is now training with determination for her comeback in the 2025 edition, where she will take on the Alps again with more experience, strength and motivation than ever. This time, as the only woman selected for the competition.
As a pilot of the Niviuk Team, Celine fully trusts the brand’s ultralight gear: the
Klimber 3 P,
Arrow P Race and
Expe Race, as well as the
Icepeak X-One and the
Drifter 2 for competitions. Thanks to their reliability and performance, these gliders allow her to take on both highly technical flights and long-distance adventures with confidence.
“My favorite flights are the ones where you play, do top landings, or fly into the sunset with friends. Those are the moments that stay with you forever,” says Celine. Because beyond the achievements, her true motivation remains the same as when she was 11: the simple joy of flying.
