    Hi Heinz!

    This is not my video, so i dont’ have the video file. But
    here are some links to the maps of the area. Unfortunatelly i don’t have any updated hi-resolution maps of Krasnaya Polyana.

    I believe the lifts are open all year round. It least I know they are open during winter, summer, and fall. You can find out for sure if you write to them to info@kraspol.ru – this is lift operator Alpika Service. However i don’t know if you can paraglide there during winter. I mean i know people paraglide during winter in some places, i just don’t know if you can do it there.

    – On this “map” you see Krasnaya Polyana town (middle) and Esto-sadok/Alpika-service resort (left-front) – this is where the Paragliding video was taken.
