Site of the 1968 Winter Olympics. I was 12 and had just started skiing. Jean-Claude Killy was a big star. He’s still alive I see. 80 years old, I towed behind an 80 yr old tow pilot. He came and got me out of a duster strip, so no wing runner. He gave me just what I needed, no tug at all prior a gentile but firm sudden pull. So I didn’t hit any runway lights. I’m hoping to get another gentile but firm pull from another octogenarian in 2025. I think he has it in him. Thanks for the beautiful views Stefan.

[@howitzeroutdoors]

I'm an airline pilot and enjoyed the heck out of that. Makes me want to go back and get my glider license!

[@existentialvoid]

Its super easy and relatively cheap to get! Its also international. In the US most sailplaning is thermals, but in the alps its all ridge lift. . . which is different and loads of fun!

Thanks Stefan for your great videos! I restarted flying sailplanes after 40 year hiatus, thanks to you, and flew local competitions on Condor during the winter. Next month, I will be flying my first (dual) competition at my gliding club.

It's amazing the life that you can have in some countries. Does not looks like the same world that we all live. Far from Violence, Corruption, Social Media Wars... At least that's the image that I have seeing this video. AMAZING!!!!!

[@pileckipilecki3724]

It's not about a country, no matter where you live, trust me, there are people doing this in your country, even if you don't know about it.

[@KatariaGujjar]

When I was a kid in my native country, it was very hot 40-50°C most days with no wind. If I look up, I'd see hundreds of eagles / kites in groups of 20+ gliding round and round all day in specific but changing spots in the horizon. Didn't know what they were doing until I got bored one day and looked at them for a couple hours. They'd start close to the ground going round for 20-30 minutes, gaining altitude until they got so high that they'd look like a dot in the sky. Then they all break formation and split out in every direction, still gliding. I learned later they do this to get a wider view of the ground, searching for prey with their sharp eyesight. So I decided one day to test their eyesight. Got raw meat cut into small 2" pieces and threw it in the air (maybe ½ kg total) while the eagles were probably a few kilometers up. They seen it from up there, switched to dive mode, and in less than ½ a minute, theres about 50 eagles doing high-G maneuvers to grab the meat. Your video reminded me of it. Very cool, I like it. 👍👍👍

[@musicsequencebr]

Cool. what is your country

[@livingadamman7994]

Maybe it was a way for them to cool down if it was so hot there too, cooler air mass up higher. It would take a bit of energy though having to hold the wings out stiff though you'd think but the adrenalin it would produce would override the fatigue. Less oxygen too. I wonder how long they can stay up there

[@ryoumen666]

[@cryzz0n]

Wow !!! What a fantastic video. The journey must have been absolutely amazing from your point of view. A lot of the scenery was the most amazing I have ever seen, and probably never will in my lifetime. I used to enjoy gliding as a hobby in Cyprus, and North Rhine-Westphalia in my younger days (30+ years ago). Thanks for sharing your videos Stephan 👍😊

[@SteFly]

Thank you 😃

[@jasonsong86]

Beautiful footage. Gliding is so rare to see these days with powered flying being so readily accessible. There is something about the simplicity of gliding that's just beautiful.

[@AdrianKirchhof]

Sehr schöne Aufnahmen! Da werden bei mir alte Kindheitsträume wieder geweckt die ich mal hatte ;-)

[@esinohio]

So many memories from my childhood when I see this. In Colorado Springs you would routinely see gliders riding the thermals. Good times.

[@EncrypticMethods]

I can't believe how much performance these gliders have when they hit those thermals making that tight of turns. Awesome footage, subbed.

[@EinBick]

Keep in mind a glider like that is like over half a million to buy new. It's not your typical "I've seen one of these at a local airport" glider. It's high performance and extremely costly.

That's called a variometer a measuring device that beeps while we gain or lose altitude. The more height we gain or lose the more frequent beeps

[@voornaam3191]

And when you hear it, you do not need to watch the instrument. That is a big deal for safety, you can watch outside far better.
