A comprehensive and inspiring paragliding film for beginners, aspiring XC pilots, and anyone who can’t get enough of real flying.

The film clearly explains essential launch techniques before moving on to thermaling, weather interpretation, and cross-country strategy. It follows two young pilots searching for their first great soaring flight, shows the strengths and weaknesses of different launch styles, and takes the viewer from Garmisch to the Pinzgau — where top pilots like John Pendry, Ernst Strobl, Burkhardt Martens, and Jo Bathmann share their insights.

Technical points are supported by clean graphics, and meteorologist Prof. Herbert Pümpel explains key local weather phenomena.

A film that makes you want to leave everything behind and head straight for the Schmittenhöhe — Jo Bathmann’s home mountain and morning weather lab.

50 minutes — instructive, motivating, and beautifully shot.
