Schilthorn-Piz Gloria-Lauterbrunnen flight, 1987
Here are some photos taken in the summer of 1987, while paragliding from the Schilthorn
down to Lauterbrunnen. We started near the restaurant Piz Gloria, featured in the
Bond Movie and landed in Lauterbrunnen,
the village where ``Fräulein Bund" picks up James Bond from the train.
Before take off
The pictures have only been scanned recently from a family album. The color distortion
is due to the almost 30 years of age of the photos. But it had only been a cheap throw
away camera.

During flight
Picture taken by Oliver during the flight. The paragliders were very bad in those years.
My brother actually touched with a foot one of the roofs of the village Mueren
above the abyss. I had to land in Muerren and restart just above the abyss to fly down
to Lauterbrunnen.

After restart
This place is now very popular for wingsuit flying.
It is quite steep there. I re started the paraglider
there.
