Up where they fly from

Today we drove up and up the mountains to see one of the spots where the paragliders take off.

On the way we got lost. But that was excellent, because we found a group of huge abandoned buildings! It looks like they used to be hotels, but now they are only shells. Lost in time and forgotten, yet not far from the buzzing tourists and dwellers of the mountains.

Once we had found the car park and walked through the ups and downs of the streets, we watched many paragliders begin their flight. Some were singles, some were pairs. Some waited for the wind, and some just ran for it!
