Masterclass: Skiing and paragliding in the Karakoram with François Ragolski
26 November, 2021, by François RagolskiIn this Cross Country Masterclass paragliding Acro World Champion and professional ski guide François Ragolski tells us what it’s like to fly-and-ski in the Karakoram.
PLUS he shares his remarkable story of his 199km, eight-hour cross country flight through the Hunza region where he over-flew the mighty Rakaposhi (7,778m) and flew his paraglider above 8,000m in June 2021 – one of only three people in the world to have done so. Sorry about some of the sound on François’s voice – the connection was not brilliant, but for those interested in flying here it’s worth persevering.
Recorded as part of the Cross Country Magazine Subscribers’ Masterclass series, September 2021
