Kronplatz, Italy
The path changes as you climb. At the top, your perspective changes.
MY MOMENT
My heart found its way home.
With Kilian, Markus Anders and friends, I took the lift up to Kronplatz. At the top, we marvelled at the enormous, level expanse: a summit meadow so wide you could have ridden horses across it. For a moment, we almost forgot we were standing on a mountain.
That day I flew my new Iota for the first time. The landscape opened before me, the Alps stretched far towards the horizon, and a song of distant places accompanied the moment. Its sound matched the feeling of being able to see further and further.
In my mind, my gaze suddenly reached all the way to China, to my home and family. Of course, countless kilometres lay between us. But up there, the distance suddenly felt different: the sky opened wide, my heart opened wide, and as my wing carried me over the mountains, part of me was already on its way home.
