Wengen in January - Paragliding in the Sunshine



Flying into the sunset



The days in January have been crystal clear and cold, perfect conditions for a paraglide.  Here Nigel, a friend from Montreal, Canada, takes to the skies from Maennlichen in a tandem ride.

The skies have been full of parachutes, particularly on these sunny afternoons.  The brightly coloured parachutes dot the hillsides.  An exhilarting way to spend an hour, particularly for non-skiiers.

This picture, taken from the Murren railway, is a flier and the Eiger.  The Lauterbrunnen Valley is renowned for its excellent paragliding.
