     Ascent to Weissmies via SSE ridge. Wonderful "Genusskletterei", as we say in German 😀 UIAA 2.

     Along the route, we chose checkpoints where we need a certain altitude to safely continue flying towards Villadossola. Additionally, we memorized a few emergency landing spots based on satellite imagery and other maps that were in glide range along the route.

     All 5 of us reached the official landing zone between Domodossola and Villadossola with a big smile! After eating gelato, we took the train back to Switzerland.

     And finally: A looong glide (plus two thermals) from the Weissmies peak (4017m) down to Domodossola (240m).

     That flight took a bit of planning. The direct route over Passo di Pontimia would have been shorter, but the Valle di Bognanco looks pretty unlandable. So we took the slightly longer route via Passo d'Andolla and the Valle d'Antrona.
