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).

The north start is not allowed at the meadow launch site for GS right next to the transmitter, because the Gschwandtalm must not be flown over. Only in winter you can reach the top with the Loser window lift. Otherwise, one goes from the Loser-Berg-Restaurant the way No. 256. The Loser is one of the best flying mountains in the region around the Altaussee. For hang-gliders and paragliders there are numerous excellent take-off possibilities, which can be reached by car via the toll road Loserstrasse. Cross-country flights are possible along the Ennstal.

Large launch site directly below the summit of Neunerköpfl. The Tannheimer Tal is certainly one of the most beautiful high valleys in Europe. Whether beginner or cross-country flying crack, here, just behind the Austrian border, the paragliding and hang-gliding community meets with great pleasure. Still, it's almost always civilized. The east and west starting positions are only a stone's throw away from the mountain station. The landscape offers a feast for the eyes. Gentle hills alternate with rugged rock formations and shape the landscape of the foothills of the Alps. The huge landing site directly next to the valley station of the cable car in Tannheim invites you to a stress-free flight experience in a wonderful environment with friends and acquaintances.

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.

We were on site in 2020. Unfortunately, the "Hohe Munde" launch sites no longer exist. Overgrown due to difficult accessibility. Cliff start on rock nose in forest aisle direction southeast to south. Demanding! Interesting airfield over the Inn valley. Those who love walk&fly can also start in the summit area of the Hohe Munde.

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.

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!
