Adelboden, Switzerland

A valley that opens up your horizons.

MY MOMENT

Autumn days that grew wings.

I went Hike & Fly near Adelboden with Peter von Känel in autumn. Walking up together, laying out the wing, then suddenly experiencing the landscape from the air: that shift between effort and lightness was incredibly beautiful. Peter is a mountain guide and an extraordinary adventurer. With Chrigel Maurer, he linked all 82 of the Alps’ four-thousand-metre peaks in 51 days on foot and by paraglider during XPeaks. My memory of our day together needs no records: it was simply one of those autumn days that stay with you.
