Sorry to hear that the weather didn't allow you to enjoy this adventure. And yes, the weather can be tricky close to the main ridge of the Alps. Hope you'll get a chance though!
I was there for a week and flew for 2 hours but not XC. Most flights were just glides and I found it a challenging area. Especially the valley wind is difficult to predict.
Well... We all are at different skill levels, so something super easy for one pilot will be challenging for the other. Indeed, Stubai is not as easy as e.g. Bassano, but it's still a very good playground for all beginner XC pilots. I'm not sure what you mean by "unpredictable valley wind" - it's actually quite clear in Stubai.
Dude, ANOTHER VIDEO in such short time?! Looking so forward to watching it tomorrow early morning with a cup of coffee. Keep them coming, looking forward to even more videos!
Thank you! My helmet is a past model by Icaro2000, it's out of stores for a long time I think. My radio is a Midland G9 pro with a headset mounted into my helmet and a PTT button attached to one of the risers.
Thanks for a very informative video. It surprises me a bit that AD has not managed (?) to match the first generation top EN C 2 liners with this second generation wing. Of course it could be a strategy behind this. AD may want to deliver a good but not fantastic performing, "mellow" low end EN C 2 liner. A good choise for pilots new to the EN C class. And those are many!
You can watch a video review about the Diva 2 on my channel! In a nutshell, I still think the Peak has the best handling in the EN-D class, but otherwise I liked the Diva a lot.
Do we need to get some foreign license like in norway? Also, how are the laws over in the UK vs US? any huge differences? Also Thanks for Video. Very Beautiful terrain and helpful.
Are you from the US? In general you need a license but the issue is the insurance in case sth. happens. What is covered by your insurance? Mine is valid worldwise. If your's is valid: Just go there and fly ;) I can fly with my German license anywhere in EU and also in the US as far as I know. What happened to you in Norway? I know many foreign people flying there without issues...
@@thorstenwei6441 Nein, i am not certified yet. I intend to get certified this coming year. The problem i heard from norway, is just the differences in launching sites and landing sites. Here in the us, so long as i follow basic vfr rules etc i can fly out of my back yard with a winch. No need to check into some agency for permission to fly in open unused unpopulated airspace. Perhaps I misunderstood what i was reading about norway?
Not all paragliding licenses are valid in Austria, you'll need to consult the Aeroclub Austria to find out whether your license is. There's sometimes a requirement to get a "guest flying license", for example, so please make yourself familiar with their rules.
@@notanassassin1210 Then you are not allowed to fly in the EU although I know many spanish pilots without a license... In Germany you need a license once you go roughly more than 5 Meters in the air - then you are in the "airspace". License is one thing - the police will not hunt you. Insurance is the real problem if sth happens. Even if you have a license you still need the insurance VFR is always mandatory - you're not allowed to fly in clouds 😅 In France for example you don't need a license but most French pilot have one => schools are better because they really want to make you a better pilot
@@thorstenwei6441 Thank you for your response, but fret not. I fully intend to attend a proper school next year to become certified. I am green to the sport but want to live a long time to enjoy it. I am familiar with all relevant US laws, but ive seen so many amazing videos of the alps, and i really would love to go to the UK for personal reasons. Ive been to munich 5 times but never to paraglide. If there are spots to paraglide, then it will make it even more rewarding. As a complete aside.... I read recently that the 'idiots comma'? has become officially recognized in germany. I am of two minds on this as I actually like the german language and studied it in high school. Do German's proper have an opinion on this change? One more question, sorrry, but have you ever had yorma's brahtwurst ? I swear they tasted better 20 years ago but i have no one at all to talk to about germany from back when i was young. I went to munich mostly : p
Have you had a negative experience? I have landed elsewhere twice so far and had no problems. I picked mowed fields, landed near the road, and quickly moved away to pack my gear.
As a local pilot I thank you a lot for mentioning not to land on random fields. The situation with the farmers is rather intense;)
I think it's important to be kind and not to overstress people. If we can co-exist in peace, that would be helpful to all of us!
Very pro guiding video! Reminds me for Tom Ceunen videos
thanks for these precious tips
Thank you for your movies. I really love this education format.
Glad you find them useful!
Another brilliant production about an area I've never been to! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Maybe a little motivation to come and visit the Stubai valley?
Phantastic video !! Thank you….
Thank you so much fot that video-format! I learned a lot just looking your content.
My pleasure! But please don't learn alone from TH-cam videos. Nothing replaces a good instructor or a live conversation with experienced pilots.
Thanks for takeing us with you. Unfortunately always when I was there the weather was horrible.
Häppiehh Lähndings

On the bucket list.
Absolutely recommended!

Hope you enjoy it! More to come - for sure!
Great video ! Which software did you use to add the nice yellowish markers for the track, altitude, speed, sink etc please ?
Thank you! I use a special software called Telemetry Overlay for that.
Another nice and inspiring video. Congrats!
May I ask which kind of helmet and radio system do you use?
Thank you!
Thank you! My helmet is a past model by Icaro2000, it's out of stores for a long time I think. My radio is a Midland G9 pro with a headset mounted into my helmet and a PTT button attached to one of the risers.
@@dymanoidmany thanks, dude! I learn and got inspire from your flights and videos to fly and enjoy more this beloved sport.
Its my goal to fly this route next year
Fully recommend! A magnificent adventure!

Thanks for your comment, but I'm wondering: how does it apply to the Stubai glacier route?
@@dymanoid - a technical glitch? I thought I was commenting on the Volt 5 review on Flybubble!
Hi How is Diva 2 comparing to Peak 6; it looks like you had a quite few flights on it by now.
You can watch a video review about the Diva 2 on my channel! In a nutshell, I still think the Peak has the best handling in the EN-D class, but otherwise I liked the Diva a lot.
Bir in india is the best for beginners who want to fly XC. People do their first 100km here.

Most stressful thing flying in stubaital is not landing on the official landing place. I'd rather top land somewhere if i can't make offical landing😅
Have you had a negative experience? I have landed elsewhere twice so far and had no problems. I picked mowed fields, landed near the road, and quickly moved away to pack my gear.
oh ja, very bad experience for my first ever flight there, very angery farmer 😅
