Profile – Jean Morisetti
JEAN MORISETTI
Can you introduce yourself in a few words?
JM: My name is Jean Morisetti. I live in Charmey in the Gruyère region, and I turned 22 in March.
As for my hobbies, I do a lot of sport in general, mountain sports, skiing and paragliding of course...
When and how did you learn to paraglide?
JM: I have always seen paragliders flying above my house and it has always been my dream to fly one day under my own glider, so after my first wages I offered myself the paraglider license which I finished on August 8, 2018.
How often do you go paragliding?
JM: I fly regularly on a mini glider to ride lightly in the mountains and have fun on the way down, but my favourite thing is distance racing, hike and fly and doing long cross with my brother and friends, and also bivouac flight.
Do you have a special memory of flight to share with us?
JM: My most vivid memories include my first flight alone with an incredible autumn landscape and the red forests against the contrast of the snowy peaks.
Or completing my first 100 km, and every time I beat my personal best—but generally speaking, every moment in the air is memorable, not to mention the beer after the flight with friends…
What are your plans for the future (paragliding and other activities)?
JM: For the future, I want to fly at high level in distance and hike and fly competitions, to do long flight cross, to do trips and bivouac flights to discover new countries, but above all to have fun while flying.
