The French Highway

[@joannadigrigoli]

This has been my favorite flight ever in the Alps! Join me on a tour around the Bauges, Chartreuse, Bornes, and Aravis on the perfect XC day.

[@petervanl2874]

Hi Joanna. Love your vids! Now that the Sambuy lift has closed, do you have a new favourite spot for xc flying in the area?

[@finnmillard6564]

Absolutely stunning line :). Amazing filming, graphics, tutorial comments, music and video edit - perfect

Yes, we had beautiful days in a row, but this one was special because it started to work so early! Thanks for watching.

Vous pourriez montrer comment vous attachez la caméra 360, je vois une épingle avec un clip, mais je ne vois pas exactement. SVP

[@joannadigrigoli]

Bonjour, ce jour là, j'ai utilisé la fixation "gooseneck" de chez GoPro, attaché à l'élévateur avec ja pince "jaws".

[@Vais-]

Merci

[@paraglidingweatherreno]

Beautiful Joanna! Your videos are fantastic and I think that’s because of your editing style! Also, you are a very accomplished pilot and competitor but you still seem humble in your videos. Bravo Muchas gracias

[@joannadigrigoli]

Wow, thanks for such a nice comment! It’s for people like you that I make these videos for! Siempre a tu orden 😀

[@vitoletsgo]

beautiful 🤩

[@voordenhout]

I like your videos, especially the fact that you don't hide the mishaps or errors that you've made. And I agree that we must always try to learn from them. I noticed that you mentioned living near Annecy. I will keep a lookout for you when I'm there in the first week of May. I have a question though: You started from La Sambuy, which is a take-off I did not know, even though I'm fairly familiar with the Annecy region. How far do you need to walk up to take-off?

[@joannadigrigoli]

Thanks! I'm glad you like them. Yes, I like to show all aspects of flying, even the mishaps because we can learn so much from them! I do live near Annecy, hope to see you around when you come. La Sambuy is south of Doussard and no walking is needed. Just take the lift to take off. In July and August, there are free shuttles from LZ to the lift, so that makes life even easier. It's a great launch for XC or just for flying around, hope you get to go there :)

[@pablogongora86]

Fantastico!

Bonita autopista y sin peajes 👏👌💪🎯

Trop bien ce genre de vidéo ! As tu un lien vers la trace du vol ?

@@joannadigrigoli Merci !

[@vikingforties]

What a lovely day out. I'd love to do that one day.

[@joannadigrigoli]

You will!

[@jacobbaran]

Looks like you flew right over my village. I am an experienced skydiver and former instructor that just moved to Fretereve. I will be jumping at the aérodrome at Lac du Bourget this summer. Learning cross country parapont is my dream and looks like I am in the right place. There are so many schools between Chambéry and Ancey that I don't quite know where to look. Any suggestions?

[@joannadigrigoli]

Hi Jacob. It's cool to hear that I flew over your town :) I don't know any of the schools in Chambéry, but I can recommend either Libre Envol or Grands Espaces in Annecy. Please send me a message on Instagram and I'll see what I can find in Chambéry.

[@jacobbaran]

@@joannadigrigoli thank you very much for your recommendation. I will put them at the top of my list. I am just 35km from La Sambuy, but have only lived here in France for six months now. My French is getting better and I should be ok to learn from French instructors this summer.

[@MKHNitro]

How do you get to Le Sambuy launch now that the chair lift is closed ?

[@joannadigrigoli]

The only way to get up there is hiking, unfortunately 😢

[@Vais-]

Magnifique 🙂👍

[@Vl7248]

Your English is amazing. Where did you learn?

[@joannadigrigoli]

Thanks! I lived in the US for a year and then I studied English in college to become a translator 😀

[@Vl7248]

@@joannadigrigoli yep.. I figured you lived in the US. You use uniquely American expressions and style. Very impressed. Oh and your flying video is awesome too!

[@paraglideheavenuwe7104]

Nice Flight and video, top 👍 I will try the flight next year ..., thx

[@jdhenckel2]

what is your wing and harness?

[@joannadigrigoli]

I was flying a Gin Leopard and Genie Race 4

[@badacat73]

Otro video fantástico Joanna. ¿Me puedes decir cuál software estabas usando para las escenas de track log en el vídeo?

[@joannadigrigoli]

¡Gracias! Me alegro que te haya gustado. El software se llama SeeYou Cloud. ¡Saludos!

[@safranpollen]

i enjoyed yout nice flight with a fantasic straight kenntucky bourbon :-)

[@joannadigrigoli]

I suggested popcorn at the beginning of the video, but I like your choice better!

[@safranpollen]

​@@joannadigrigoli I promise you, a small nice Scotch or straight kentucky bourbon and ya gonna deliver a 300+ flight this season😉🙏🥃🐰
