Alix Aubriot, 16, from the Grand-Est region of France, discovered paragliding at an early age thanks to his father, with whom he made his first tandem flight at just 3 years of age.

Born into a family of pilots, he grew up surrounded by this passion. At the age of 12, he made his first solo flight at Orcières Merlette. His progress accelerated when he joined the Bourgogne Franche-Comté league, coached for two years by Tom Chauvin, before being selected for the Pôle Espoir Vol Libre in Font-Romeu.

His ambitions: to shine in competition and, perhaps one day, make a living from his passion.
