Pierandea Patrucco has done it! Flying solo with minimal ground support he left Monaco on June 19th and successfully traversed the entire Alpine chain during the worst Alpine summer for 40 years, landing at the Adriatic sea on July 15th.
The project was a true vol-bivouac, using the principles of French “Vagabond of the Sky”, Didier Favre’s, “CAP444”, in which he traversed 444km (straight line distance) of the Alps unaided, walking only to reach take off points (not to gain distance).
