What does paragliding
mean to you
It is now my professional life, but at the beginning it was the passion for the mountain. It allows me to go to sleep with “dreams in the draw”, and wake-up in the morning with the consciousness that they can be realised! It’s a way to feel alive and even a better man. Flying makes me understanding that freedom can be reached also by means of clear rules, and it reminds how small the man is with respect to the nature.
