The Morterasch glacier, state 2004.

The Morteratsch glacier is getting shorter by 10 to 70 meters and thinner 5 to 12 cm per year. The average ice's thickness is around 70 m. The figures will be updated soon.

Kite fabric Icarex: the color palette for zero-wind-kites in 2023.

The pictures in the Morteratsch Glacier were taken a long time ago, when the glacier was longer and higher than it is today.

A versatile kite performing relaxed glide sequences, combined with balanced agility and controlled response.

Gliding with elegance, the efficient (high aspect ratio wing design) clv gt reminds of the long way home, but has a compact packing size. In some wind, you can fly this glider as a static single line kite.


The perfect lines for the kite are a short Zero.5 on Microwinder at urban zero wind flights. And a long Zero.5 or a very long Zero.4 on reel for high flights with wind or in thermals.
