large meadow, easy to start Large launch site east of the kiosk. 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).

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.

Beautiful meadow slope towards west/northwest. The grass cone of the Hohe Salve offers excellent flight conditions. Early in the year you can find thermal updrafts here. Take the mountain railway from Söll or Hopfgarten to the Hohe Salve. All starting places are in the area of the summit. Please use only the new official landing site! This is located approx. 500m from the valley station Söll, approx. 80m west of the lowest parking lot, and is marked by a clearly visible wind vane. When landing, watch out for the nearby power line (especially in strong valley winds) and any tractor traffic.

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.

The west launch site is just a few minutes' walk from the mountain station. Starts are also possible here in winter. The Choralpe near Westendorf has everything to offer that makes our heart so joyful. High mountains, the unique natural landscape of the Kitzbüheler Alps, beautiful launch sites and a large landing site. In summer there is a 15 minute walk to the starting places. The west launch site is large and somewhat undulating. But it offers plenty of space for several gliders at the start. The north starting point is narrower and steeper. Here disciplined pilots can only lay out 2 gliders at the same time. The easiest way to find thermals is from late in the morning, mainly to the right in front of the west launch site. If the thermals are good, you can mainly take routes towards Pinzgau. But even with a dynamic westerly wind, the edge that extends to the left and right of the western starting point is interesting for soaring.

SO launch site simple. At Schöckl, the Alps run out to the east. This is why it is a particularly attractive flying area for paragliders and hang-gliders not far from Graz. The mountain railway transports the pilots upwards. From there an entertaining footpath to the main launch site (southeast). It is strongly recommended to visit the landing site before the runway ascent. It is quite big, but falls off to the south. It's not that easy, especially in thermal conditions and at the same time landing pilots. Attention must be paid to cable cars, roads, car parks and cables. Alternatively, you can land on the dragon landing site further south. Pay the landing fee at the club (currently 4 € - 2010) or at the cable car in the restaurant. Cross-country flights are possible, but not so easy. The maximum height is limited due to the near control zone Graz. Be sure to inform your local authorities about the SRA Graz and the control zone. For reasons of game protection, it is not allowed to start before 2 hours after sunrise. End 2 hours before sunset. An interesting flying area.

It is rare that a mountain has so many starting possibilities with different altitude differences, degrees of difficulty and different starting directions. With the main ridge of the Alps behind you, the Dolomites in your sights, headwinds at the starting point, aviator's heart - what more could you ask for? For the flying school Blue Sky reason enough to choose the location of their flying school in the center of Sillian. Everyone who wants to organize flight tests in the region is welcomed here. Those who value one or the other tip can also explore the area supervised by the flying school. Whatever the interests, everyone gets their money's worth here in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Tourism Association Alta Pusteria A-9920 Sillian Phone: +43 4842 66660 info@hochpustertal.com http://www.hochpustertal.com You have to walk up from the top cable car station. No way-marker to the several places,where you can start. Distance approx. 700 m as the crow flies. 1- and 2-seater / Training 1- and 2-seater / Training Hochpustertaler mountain railways Nfg.

The starting places are around the stone tower below the mountain station up to the 4-seater chairlift. Ramp for HG in front of the Alpengasthof Pacheiner. With a view over the Carinthian lakes, the Gerlitzen is probably one of the most beautiful paragliding mountains in Austria. The summit plateau offers excellent starting possibilities. Dragons also find a ramp in the area of the Alpengasthof. Flying fun is guaranteed at Gerlitzen at any time of the year. But also here the wind situation has to be assessed correctly. In strong westerly winds it is difficult to make progress towards the landing site. It's better to stay on the ground. The same applies to north winds. In order to get to the landing site, you have to fly a long mountain ridge before you can turn left towards Annenheim and the landing site at the eastern end of the lake. Attention: the entrance corridor of the airport in Klagenfurt begins at 2,100 metres. A reason why cross-country flights from the Gerlitzen are not too easy to manage. Next to the road in the direction of St. Andrä, you first reach the campsite on the lake on the left and then the club landing field on the right. A few metres further on you will find the flying school and immediately opposite on the left, the landing site of the flying school. In the flying school, first-time pilots receive a friendly introduction to the terrain. If you turn right a little further from the road to St. Andrä, you will reach the large dragon landing site. The huge meadow launch site below the summit station can be reached with the Gerlitzen cable car. It's at about 1,900 meters. Alternatively, you can reach the starting point via a toll mountain road from the back of the Gerlitzen. Attention: Please observe the absolute landing ban on the Ossiachersee campsite areas!!! Unauthorized landings on the beaches and meadows will be punished by the police!

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!
