These paragliding hike and fly takeoffs were from different steep mountains. These 4 different flights took place in Kandersteg, Switzerland and I hiked around 6 hours total to reach these takeoff sites.
After not being able to fly for roughly 2 days because of bad weather, the sun came out finally on the third day and I really wanted to take off from the highest mountain that I could still reach within a couple of hours. The takeoff site it's located at around 2500 meters AMSL and it was extremely steep. That was the first flight. The second take off site was not much better... very steep as well, but managed a very smooth launch.
After landing for the second time today, I came back for more the next day.
I took the cable car again which brought me to the start of my hike and fly. This time the launch site was on a different side of the mountain and not easy to find. At first I couldn't believe that such a steep slope it's supposed to be the take off site. Enjoy watching!

There is a lot to tell and show about this epic bike journey. I've had very beautiful and exciting moments but also moments of pain, frustration and misery. Traveling on bike for such long distances teaches you who you really are, what you really want in life and what you are made of.
I am going to post weekly episodes from my bike trip across Europe. Stay tuned and subscribe with the notifications bell on to not miss any of the uploads.
