Mountain Soaring

Stemme formation from Palmer to Haines, Alaska. Just over the Alaska Panhandle from the north.

Stemme formation over the Alaska Range in June 2026 on the way to Denali.

A Stemme S10VT wing over the Malaspina Glacier seen from 5000m. It’s the biggest piedmont glacier of the world just below Mount Saint Elias, Alaska.

The Ruth Glacier Amphitheater at the base of Denali - the highest mountain of North America. You see the spectacular granite walls formed by the Ruth Glacier.

Approaching the top of Denali at FL245 - the highest mountain of North America. Behind its building a beautiful wave bar going up to FL300. This is one of the epic moments you only get in a glider.

Flying over Denali the first time in a glider. Soaring in the Alaska range is way better as we thought. Thx to all who helped to make our Alaska soaring mission happen.

Denali (20310ft) kicks off an amazing lee wave. On the way to the summit in wave coming from the northeast. We picked up the clearance from Anchorage Center to go up to FL250.

Soaring over the biggest coastal mountains of the globe.
