Stechelberg
The Stechelberg landing site is located in the valley floor, directly north of the Schilthorn cable car. At the landing site there is a wind sack and an information board with a situation plan concerning the take-off and landing site. This landing site is the official landing site in the Lauterbrunnen Valley. The cables of the Schilthornbahn, 50m south of the landing place and a high voltage line west of the parking lot have to be considered. In morning mountain winds a left volte will be flown, excavation area above the main road and slightly south (windward) from the landing place. In valley wind a right volte will be flown, then dismantling will take place north of the landing place above the main road. With Bisenlage and good thermals, the valley wind can increase a little at the landing site, but you should not fly behind the Schilthorn cable car station. At the landing place parallel to the parking lot is the folding place. Official and chargeable parking spaces are right here. From the landing site it is a 50m walk to the Schilthorn cable car. From 16:00 hrs Base Jumper must be expected on the Muerrenfluh. The operator is the Schilthorn Railway. suitability Basically good for landing in all normal weather conditions. Partially rapid valley wind in the afternoon. Also suitable for beginners. 1- and 2-seater 1- and 2-seater http://www.paragliding-jungfrau.ch/ Altitude 860m	{},

After a 90° bend to the right, follow the path for 50 metres until you leave it to the right in the direction of the barn. The start is then 30 meters above the barn. The starting place is rather small. Mostly the wind comes up thermally along the slope. Thermike entrance: left along the Muerrenfluh or immediately after the start right along the area over Gimmelwald around the corner direction Sefinental. From 15:00 it is recommended to cross the valley in the direction of Jungfrau and enjoy the evening thermals there. Further you can count on Base Jumper at the Muerrenfluh from 16:00 o'clock. That's why soaren is forbidden from 16:00 the Muerrenfluh. The starting point may only be used from May to November, i.e. outside the ski season.

Alp Scheidegg
In recent years Alp Scheidegg has developed into the most attractive flying area in the greater Zurich area. The Delta Club Zurich Oberland, which has been in charge of the flying area for more than 35 years, maintains an excellent infrastructure with a spacious take-off meadow right next to the Alp Scheidegg restaurant. 4 spacious landing sites are available in the valley, which allow deltas like paragliders to land safely. In Hueebli, the most frequented landing place, there are free parking spaces rented by the club. On Alp Scheidegg, there are signposted pilot parking spaces in the immediate vicinity of the starting point. These have to be used, restaurant parking spaces must not be used for parking vehicles. Due to the limited number of parking possibilities, car pools must be formed. In order to be able to meet the different needs of the pilots, the club offers one: One-day ticket for CHF 10, one Annual ticket for CHF 50 as well as the previous one Club membership in DCZO for NEW CHF 80 (incl. JK) per year. (from 1.1.2013) The latter offers participation in the attractive club life with various events and further training.

The flight area Alp Scheidegg is located in the middle of the TMA 2 Duebendorf, which is PERMANENT ACTIVE and whose LIMIT LIMIT is 1700m above sea level. This means that the maximum allowed altitude of 1700m ue.M. for hang glider pilots must be kept to, otherwise the closure of the airfield will threaten!
