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	{},

From there, follow the path up, it goes under the Schilthorn cable car and under the Schiltgrat chair lift and then climbs steeply. 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.

Grindelwald First
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.

The fantastic panorama seduces to distraction. One should not underestimate in any case the long flight path to the landing place in Grund.

From here it is a 5 minute walk to the Firstbahn or 10 minutes to the Pfingsteggbahn. In winter the landing place is 50 meters deeper in the lower area. Official and chargeable parking is available at the Pfingsteggbahn, behind the Sunstar Hotel or 50m behind the Hotel Bodmi on the main road.

St. Cergue
Small decoration on medium slope SE to SW, difficult. There are two Holfuy beacons installed for this take-off site. The one called "Déco St-Cergue" indicates the wind at the bottom of the deco and must be mainly oriented SW. A second one called "St-Cergue Fréterette" is placed in a plain above the deco and indicates the entrance of dangerous and undetected winds at the deco, from W to E through N. Ideally, both beacons should indicate about the same direction. See also the Dôle beacon giving information on prevailing winds. All the beacons are visible on "Winds.mobi". Medium slope, short, on the edge of a cliff. Difficult. Take the train Nyon-> St-Cergue, at Givrins, exit at Chèvrerie - Monteret station, follow the railway tracks until you see the CVLD sign showing a path on the right parallel to the tracks.

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.
