Christmas eve at the top

by

Flight with my always reliable Mavic Pro (V1). Christmas eve [20221224] on 1’703 m ASL in Switzerland on the Monte Generoso (Canton of Ticino), near by the border with Italy. The picture was taken in the South direction and under the fog about 60 kilometers away is Milan (Italy). On the ridge you can see the ‘Fiore di Pietra‘ restaurant (Stone Flower) by architect Mario Botta. I have already posted photos of it in the past, here is the link.

We toasted to Christmas and to the New Year with a Prosecco, an hot Tea and a good Panettone. NICE genuine mountains people!

You can look at more of my beautiful drone photos on my dronestagram channel.

Weg der Schweiz

by

A couple of photos with my drone Mavic Pro (1) over the “Weg der Schweiz” (Switzerland’s way) in the Seelisberg Region (central Switzerland) and the awesome village of “Bauen”. The Lake “Vierwaldstättersee” (Lake of the Four Cantons) and the Grütli meadow, historical and almost mythical location for the foundation of Switzerland (1291) and on July 1940 General Henry Guisan used this locations for his speech, the “Rütlirapport”, to the commanding officers of the Swiss Armed Forces in which he ordered the “Reduit”-strategy and his aim never to surrender if invaded.

We have found a awesome location to fly and a lot of very kind pilots, who shared the own years of experiences with us! Very nice and clean hotel to have meal and to sleep (http://www.hahnenmoos.ch/). Video of the fly session below. More pictures on our FLICKR Channel.

Hot Winter “sloping”

by

Unglaublich aber wahr! Am 29. Dezember 2015 ohne Schnee auf 1500 M.ü.M. in den Schweizer Alpen (location village of Jeizinen). Ein sehr seltenes Ereignis. Ich konnte mit leichtem und warmem Aufwind am Hang fast wie in Frühling mit meinem langjährigen mich auf Reisen begleitenden treuen Segler (Phoenix 2000, 2.om) slope fliegen. Just fun!
