Austria paragliding sites

There are 3 different Take offs at Speiereck:The one at 2000m is mainly used in summer. To get there, you have to contact the guys from DFC Lungau (www.dfc-lungau.com) On weekend they meet at 10:00 at the landing place and go up by car.In winter time you can go up by cablecar, then it is possible to start at the normal starting place (you have to walk half an hour to reach it) or go down to the second cablecar to go up to the summit and start from there. Main launch site at the Peterbauerkreuz for southern and eastern locations. The Speiereck is the main flying mountain in the Lungau. You can start in any direction except the west. The ascent to the starting points is by club bus or the Lungau mountain railway.

There are two takeoffs: the most common one is the 'Oststartplatz' (east-TO) which is about 15 minutes walk from the 'Postl' car park. It is used for NE-SE winds, a clearing in the woods, so it may be turbulent if the wind comes over the trees (danger here!).The other takeoff is the 'Suedstart' used for SE-S winds, a cliff launch just a few 100 m south of the Postl-Restaurant. You should know what you are doing if you launch there. Meadow launch site in a wide forest aisle. Main launch site for paragliders. The Hohe Wand is located about 30 minutes southwest of Vienna and is one of the most popular airfields in the region. Hang-gliders and paragliders will find the best take-off and landing conditions here. Guests receive a day flight entitlement at the Gasthof Postl. Observe airspace restrictions!

Launch site on meadow flank below the mountain station. From the village of Finkenberg the train leads up to the mountain of the same name. Alternatively with the Penkenbahn on the Penken. From there it is a good 25 minutes on foot to the starting point at Finkenberg. The official landing site of this airfield is located next to or between the 2nd and 3rd supports of the mountain railway. The landing field is for the experienced only! It is therefore worthwhile to think about the Edenlehen landing site in Mayrhofen in good time. Thanks to thermals, the working height here can often exceed the starting point level even in the winter months.

Wonderful meadow launch site on the left hand side before the turning loop of the Gaisbergstraße. The summit plateau of the Gaisberg can be easily reached by car all year round via the Gaisbergstraße. It accommodates around the far visible antenna 3 wonderful nature launch sites in direction north, east and west. Most of these are aisle launch sites. The control zone of Salzburg Airport determines the airspace of the Gaisberg aircraft. Each pilot is therefore required to fly in a disciplined manner in order not to endanger the beautiful and unique flying terrain. Despite the restrictions, the Gaisberg has an undreamt-of potential. In spring and early summer the one or the other Vario may cheer you for the remarkable climb values. Due to airspace restrictions, cross-country flights to the south are concentrated over the Osterhorn Group. But also flights to Obertraun and back to the Gaisberg of more than 100 kilometers have already been flown. Sliders to the landing site in Aigen are almost always inside. http://www.paragleiter.com/gaisberg/fluggelande-gaisberg/ TSG Tourism Salzburg GmbH Auersperg road 6 A-5020 Salzburg, Austria Phone +43/(0)662/88987-0 tourist@salzburg.info http://www.salzburg.info 1- and 2-seater 1- and 2-seater none Club: 1st Hang-gliding and Paragliding Club Salzburg (FLY FOR FUN) General Keyes Street 15 A-5020 Salzburg, Austria Phone / Fax: +43/(0)662/431486 flyforfun@paragleiter.com http://www.paragleiter.com/ Camping: Camping Castle Aigen Weberbartlweg 20 A-5026 Salzburg, Austria http://www.campingaigen.com The campsite is situated directly above the landing meadow.

Note the high-voltage line along the through road on the river! The office of the flight school is also located at this landing site! Large landing site at the Bruggerstube in Mayrhofen. Particular attention should be paid to the large high-voltage line. Camping possibility at the flight school at the landing site. In summer, the Zillertaler Höhenstrasse (toll road) takes you to the two starting points in the kiosk area at the vertex of the Höhenstrasse below the Arbiskopf. The ascent is possible by car, bus or shuttle of the flight school. From here you have many possibilities to get into the Zillertal thermals. If you can't find any updrafts in front of the take-off and above the round, wooded mountain ridge, you can take a look at the Perler beard on the flight path to the landing site, which you can't see from up here, and hope for climb values. Whoever succeeds in entering one of the updrafts will be faced with unforgettable flights along the Zillertal towards the Inn Valley or even into the Pinzgau. A difficult bottleneck here, however, is the Gerlos pass, which is only a side effect. The breathtaking view from the mountain road over the Zilletaler Alps and the main Alpine ridge is a blessing for body and soul, even if it is not possible to fly or only a glider of a mere 1,400 metres is inside. Since the wind conditions at the Melchboden are not well recognizable from the valley, it is also possible to get information from the staff of the snack station (kiosk) (Tel. +43/(0)664 100 30 10). The Penkenbahn starts in the centre of Mayrhofen. With the new faster Penkenbahn (since December 2015) it takes only 10 minutes to get to the top station. From the top station of the Penken cable car you continue uphill with the combined cable car Penken (2 minutes on foot from the top station of the Penken cable car). Directly below/next to the top station of the Kombibahn is the first of 2 starting places. From there the landing places Sidan, Bruggertube and Edenlehen can easily be reached. At the landing place Bruggerstube you have to pay attention to the power line which goes through the middle of the valley. At the start there is a hill which should be flown around in the direction of the cable car, because the distance of at least 50m to the cable car should be kept after the start, also when flying over the cable car! From the top station of the Kombibahn it goes on foot on path no. 23 in the direction of Penkenjoch (approx. 10 minutes on foot). The starting point is opposite the Knorren lift. The terrain is steep and requires a certain routine.
