(Villeneuve) Verbier

In the morning I went to Villeneuve to meet Nicole: she's 3 days here working for Alain Zoller (Air Turqoise), testing several paragliders fro the EN-validation. They are using a 'private' LZ - rather small for my liking ;-)



As planned I went to Verbier; I parked my car near the LZ in Champsec and went by bus via Chable to Verbier, then I took a taxi to Ruinettes. Here Gilles, on of the pilots who had been in yesterday's shuttle to Signal de Soi, was getting ready to launch with 2 other pilots.


Ruinettes

Perfect conditions for launchig and the house thermal quickly got me up to nearly 3000m; great views!
