Some think flying near mountains is risky, but it’s all about knowing how the air moves. When you understand the lift and sink, you can fly close to the slopes with confidence. Amazing flying by Igor Volkov 🤍 #gliding #soaring #sailplane #mountainflying #aviationlovers | Glider Airstrip

Snow covered Alps rise below as the glider 'I❤️CHRiS' moves forward. Maurizio Menegotto guides this sailplane across Valtellina Valley and toward mount Bernina. The sun stays high, the clouds stay close, and the mountains keep unfolding. From San Giacomo pass to Valdossola pass, every turn reveals another layer of the Alps. Maurizio Menegotto has a way of letting the landscape speak through the flight. #gliding #sailplane #alps #aviation | Glider Airstrip
