A professional adventurer since 2014, Antoine Girard is a former rock climber and high-altitude mountaineer.  In July 2016 he spent a month in Pakistan, flying a remote, challenging and ground-breaking 1250km solo through the Karakoram with his tent. With only himself for company, he flew through this stunning mountain range and reached 8157m of altitude to see Broad Peak from above.

Envol vers les 8000

Summer 2018. The 1500 km epic biv flight of Damien LACAZE and Antoine GIRARD in the core of Himalaya and Karakorum mountains. This journey is actually a prelude and acclimatization to climb the Spantik (7027m) from the nearest city in two days, thanks to paragliding. Is it really achievable? What are the limits of such an ascent? Can we really come back unscathed?

Lost in Karakorum

Using paragliding in the Himalayas like the cable car in the Alps to go have fun, go mountaineering or skiing is the crazy idea of a group of 7 friends who went together to Pakistan to make combos in the Himalayas!  The plan is simple, the paraglider allows you 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 8000m of altitude with a paraglide and to try to break the paragliding altitude world record.
