L<\/span>adies and Gentlemen, welcome aboard the Karakoram Airlines flight to Pakistan. This flight piloted by Antoine Girard<\/strong> and his many friends and emulators (Fabian Buhl,<\/strong> Julien Dusserre, Fran\u00e7ois Ragolski<\/strong>…) will take you to the top of mountains of more than 7000 m in a day, formerly reached in several weeks after tedious approaches.<\/span><\/p>\n

Captain Girard’s plan? To use the paraglider in the Himalayas like the cable car in the Alps to go for fun, mountaineering or skiing. This is the crazy idea of this group of seven friends who went together to Pakistan to perform combos in the Himalayas!<\/span><\/p>\n

The plan is simple, the paraglider allows to reach the high mountains and from there, it only remains to have fun. It is also the way to acclimatize to the altitude to try to fly at more than 8000 meters and to try to beat the world record of altitude in paragliding.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Utiliser le parapente en Himalaya comme le t\u00e9l\u00e9ph\u00e9rique des Alpes pour aller s'amuser, faire de l\u2019alpinisme ou du ski. C\u2019est l\u2019id\u00e9e un peu folle de ce groupe de sept amis partis ensemble au Pakistan r\u00e9aliser des combos en Himalaya !<\/span>\n\nLe plan est simple, le parapente permet de rejoindre les hautes montagnes et \u00e0 partir de l\u00e0, il ne reste plus qu'\u00e0 se faire plaisir. C'est aussi le moyen de s'acclimater \u00e0 l'altitude pour essayer de voler \u00e0 plus de 8000 m\u00e8tres et de tenter de battre le record du monde d'altitude en parapente.<\/span>\n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[85,9,20],"tags":[186,614,40,185],"class_list":["post-59291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-adventure","category-himalayas","category-mountaineering","tag-antoine-girard","tag-fabian-buhl","tag-pakistan","tag-paragliding"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59291"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59291\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59334,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59291\/revisions\/59334"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
