270 km on a Paraglider | Stunning Hyperlapse | Swiss Alps

Must see hyperlapse of a 270 km flat triangle from Niesen via Valais and Luzern and back. Good but humid conditions carried me through the alps. After abandoning plans to fly to Chamonix due to low cloudbase and NW wind, I'm trying to fly all the way to the flatlands before getting stopped by a strong headwind. After returning to Niesen I manage to extend the flight by taking the prealps autobahn to Luzern and back, ultimately landing in to the sunset at Spiez.

Holy shit, I knew paragliders use thermals to get higher, but seeing this time-lapse with orientation always forward I understood the concept a lot more. To witness how you "screw" yourself up, and then glide down again. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@jensleering960]

You could say he keeps screwing his paraglider

[@jasonrubik]

@@jensleering960 Just be careful, and do not screw up ! Hey, now wait a minute !!!

[@voilin]

10 minutes ago I didn't know you could do that. Now it's my life goal

[@matan6069]

did you do it?

[@gubzs]

I've never seen this before. You just travelled 270km, with no motor, in under a day. Absolutely blew my mind.
Amazing.

[@TheDeathBones]

The place markers make it more enjoyable to follow your flight and they are very interesting. Definitely worth the extra time in editing! Thank you for taking us along on your adventures.

[@TheTobyrobot]

I'd love to see a map in the end of the video of where you flew, maybe even overlayed on the swiss topo maps! Or next level would be to have a minimap for the whole timelapse, showing in realtime where you are!

[@schaufuss]

The place markers are very helpful, thanks!

[@SteFly]

Incredible flight and video!! 🤙🏼

[@BrunoHidalgo182]

I had no idea something like this was even possible to achieve. I'm amazed.

[@wild2flyparagliding160]

Brilliant flight! How about a map to see where you are relative to the start point etc. :)

[@thebodychecker4295]

very well explained, thanks for taking us with you!

[@valentatomas]

Wow, stunning flight and also incredible edit, thank you for piece like this 😍

[@OutdoorTraveler]

I'm a fixed wing pilot no longer flying due to budget. I've been thinking about unpowered flight as a cheaper alternative to getting back into it. This video is amazing. Thanks for inspiring me to learn some more.

[@intarsienschrankzwetschgen4224]

I took the same route: Changed from gliderplanes to paras. Although a para only has a glide ratio of 10 the real glide ratio, airtime / hassle, is unbeatable. Plus it goes into your backpack. Setup time about 10min. You can launch alone. And you match totally with eagles in terms of speed and glide ratio which means you get to fly together very often.

[@sylvester.2842]

Thank you Sebastian for another AWESOME video! Fly safe! ( .

[@richtourist]

Absolutely superb. I've never seen anything like it.
And congratulations on a great day!
