Flying high in Ötz

Today we hooked up with Adi at Ötz Air fort some paragliding. A perfect day with blue sky and lots of sun greeted us when we arrived to the village of Ötz. Here we took the ski lifts up to Hoch Ötz at 2179 meters altitude and prepared our kit.
This is a place where you can get thermals even in winter, and indeed we did! I got an almost 50 minutes long thermal flight until I had to give up due to cold fingers (I wish I had those heated gloves, something for next year). The views were truly stunning.

On the way home, the taxi dropped us off outside Shirmbar, a very popular after ski place...
