You step off the panoramic bus into thin, cold air and the Alps rise around you like pages of a folded map. The valley smells of lakewater and cut grass; cliffs and glaciers push the skyline into sharp, honest angles. After a short transfer to the launch ridge, the instructor clips the harness, checks the wing, and gravity becomes invitation rather than threat.
