Engstligenalp – Adelboden, Switzerland
Height is gained step by step. The view gives you space.
MY MOMENT
Together at cloudbase.
I went Hike & Fly at Engstligenalp with Chrigel Maurer. It was already mid-October, which made the thermals all the more surprising: we climbed above 3,000 metres and circled together at cloudbase. Mountains below, clouds above—and me in the middle of a moment I will never forget. Autumn had given us a sky that felt boundlessly wide.
