Join Liv Sansoz, Zeb Roche, and Blutch as they recount their extraordinary paragliding adventure from the summit of K2, using Niviuk gliders, in this exclusive conference held at Flying Light in Saint Gervais.
Discover the challenges, breathtaking moments, and the intense preparation behind this groundbreaking flight from the world’s second-highest peak. With Niviuk’s cutting-edge paragliders, they pushed the boundaries of high-altitude flying.
*THE FEAT*
Niviuk pilots Liv Sansoz, Zeb Roche and Jean-Yves Fredriksen, better known as Blutch, have for the first time in history descended K2 (8,611 m) by paraglider, after climbing the eight-thousander without oxygen.
The three pilots and Benjamin Védrines left together for Pakistan on the 14th of June. One week later, they reached the base camp of the second highest mountain in the world. They spent weeks ascending and resting, experiencing harsh conditions, but always maintaining companionship and friendship, in order to acclimatise to the terrain and the altitude. Having completed the acclimatisation phase and having reached 8000 m, they were ready to continue the ascent alone, without oxygen, and take off from the summit. Finally, after days of high winds, storms and snowfall, a weather window opened, and they made it to the top on the 28th of July.
