[Video] Against Gravity – Paragliding into a Forbidden Trail

 

The film project #AgainstGravity shows an interaction between professional biker René Wildhaber and professional paraglider pilot Patrick Von Känel. René Wildhaber uses his own muscle power to fight his way to the Blüemlisalphütte at 2800 m. The paraglider pilot Patrick Von Känel uses the thermals for the ascent and flies to the hut with his bike. Together they then enjoy the incredible descent by bike in the breathtaking mountain scenery. The driving pleasure is abruptly stopped by a driving ban. But this is no obstacle for the two professionals. You unfold the paraglider and fly with the tandem paraglider including bikes over the driving ban into the sunset.
