Flying in Switzerland












It was planes, trains, and automobiles, but we finally made it to Verbier. Thanks to Bob and Marion, who waited over two hours for us to arrive in Geniva, we caught the train to Martigny where one of our guides drove us to the chalet. We arrived about 9pm to cold left over dinner (excellent) and a good nights sleep.



Sunday was early to launch where I got my first flight in the alps. The conditions were just starting to turn on, but with retrieve already in the LZ and three flights standard for the day, I took off on an extended sledder to get a look around. The views are wonderful, and the flight was great.


Later in the day a front came in shutting down the flying, and rain is the word of the day for Monday as well. We expect to see the sun on Tuesday and be back in the air.
