Switzerland Paragliding Sites

From Grindelwald with the gondola lift to the First. From there a 2 minute walk along the access road to the launch site, 100m below the restaurant First. The starting place is very large and even, without stones or obstacles. Many national and international competitions have already taken place here. From here the most beautiful flights in the Jungfrau Region can be made. It can be started in three different directions. Mostly the wind comes up thermally along the slope. It is recommended to start in direction south or southwest (normal starting direction) or east. When you start west over the cliff you have to consider an early break and it takes a lot of routine. Thermike entrance directly in front of the Starplatz or in west direction at Waldspitz. The use is free of charge. The local Jungfrau Taechi Club is the operator and authorised signatory. suitability Normal start time 9:00-18:00. Thermals from 10:00. Basically startable and flyable in all normal weather conditions. Partial crosswind. Also suitable for beginners and large groups. huge TO area, suited for all levels; easy access by gondola from Grindelwald, TOP-landing also possible... Huge meadow launch site below the mountain station of the First mountain railway. The First near Grindelwald is one of the best thermal spots. The thermals can be correspondingly strong on some days. The First cable car takes you from the centre of Grindelwald to the magnificent Wiesestartplatz a few metres below the mountain station. The starting place is wide, big and forgiving. The fantastic panorama seduces to distraction. One should not underestimate in any case the long flight path to the landing place in Grund. If the flight altitude is not sufficient to reach the landing site for whatever reason, you can land at the Bodmi landing site. The landing site is next to the cable car. During the ascent it is easy to see after the first masts. The landing site is demanding and therefore only recommended for experienced pilots. Grindelwald Tourism Village road 110 P.O.
