Fly XC
Golden’s Mount 7 has always been known as a superlative thermal and cross-country flying site. Above, Sotir Popov climbs high above Mt7. Get the feeling. Watch Steven Semisch’s XC vid.
For more than thirty years the superb Mount 7 flying site in Golden, BC has hosted pilots from across North America and around the world.
“The flying here is awesome!”
Comment by Urs Haari, former Swiss National Paragliding Champion and paragliding equipment manufacturer. Mr. Harri visited Golden with a group of accomplished Swiss paraglider pilots travelling on a Western Canadian Tour. All members of the group logged notable XC flights on their first try with a couple of pilots exceeding 100km.
