What a great trip... We were talking about it for a long time, we finaly made it. Ramon Morillas and I flew the main parts of the Red Bull X Alps route on paramotor. We left Salzburg for a 10 days trip trough the Alps. We first took off at the top of the Gaisberg, the first turning point. We flew all the way to Zel am See passing by the second turning point, the Watzmann. I was impressed by the difficulty of this part. We took loads of pictures to be able to analyse the shortest way to cross those mountain passes. The same day we took off again in the afternoon and flew around the great Grossglockner, the turning point 3. We had to climb at around 4200 m high to have an overview. It was freezing cold but it was amazing to be there. We are probably the very first pilot to fly above this peak. At the end of the day we landed just at the entrance of the dolomites. We had a good night rest and then took off early in the morning to cross the dolomites... We flew around the Marmolada, turning point 4, checking all the different options. Now we have it super clear, etheir we have to fly or walk trough the mountains... Then we went to Zermat to check the Matterhorn but it was too windy. We met a local pilot who explained us how to deal with this tricky part of the route. Very interesting, thanks to him. Now we are training in the Alps, climbing mountains and taking informations... stay tune. Blue skies,
tom.
