Buchenberg Paragliding Sites

Buchenberg Nord-West

Challenging launch site with a clearing-like character. The wind direction and wind strength are of crucial importance here. The wind should not be too strong and should have as little lateral component as possible (the stronger the wind, the more precisely it must blow from the northeast). As there are often many pilots in the air, a high level of attention is required and the slope flying rules must be observed at all times. These apply when soaring on Buchenberg up to 50 m above the edge of the slope. Flying over the launch sites and the entire area of the mountain station, the Buchenbergalm, the mountain railway and lift cables, and the federal highway must be done at a minimum altitude of 50 m. Every pilot needs the "green instruction card," available from FLY ROYAL PARAGLIDING (https://fly-royal.de). At the valley station, all pilots must present their pilot license and proof of insurance in addition to the green instruction card, otherwise they will not be transported by the Buchenbergbahn. Tandem flights are regulated by the Tegelberg/Buchenbergbahn. Only flights from approved providers with the consent of Tegelbergbahn GmbH & Co. KG may be carried out. Private tandem flights are not permitted. The air traffic control reporting office for the Tegelberg and Buchenberg flying areas is located at the FLY ROYAL PARAGLIDING Base & Landing Bar, directly at the Tegelberg landing site. Located on the edge of the Alps, the mountain offers beautiful views of the Ammergau Mountains and the Allgäu Alpine foothills. Take the chairlift up to the mountain station with its restaurant and terrace.

Buchenberg Nord

Easy launch site, suitable for beginners. Frequent training operations. When there are a lot of pilots, launch preparations such as sorting lines and putting on harnesses should be carried out away from the launch site. Then come to the launch site with your glider packed away. As there are often many pilots in the air, high attention is required and the slope flying rules must be observed. These apply when soaring at Buchenberg up to 50 m above the edge of the slope. Flying over the launch sites and the entire area of the mountain station, the Buchenbergalm, the mountain railway and lift cables, and the federal highway must be done at a minimum altitude of 50 m. Every pilot needs the "green instruction card," available from FLY ROYAL PARAGLIDING (https://fly-royal.de). At the valley station, all pilots must present their pilot license and proof of insurance in addition to the green instruction card, otherwise they will not be allowed to use the Buchenbergbahn. Tandem flights are regulated by the Tegelberg/Buchenbergbahn. Only flights from approved providers with the consent of Tegelbergbahn GmbH & Co. KG may be carried out.

Tegelberg Bergstation

Upper takeoff direction NW (besides the cablecar mountain station): Mostly a lot of pilots - you have to queue already prepared for take-off. This can cause quite a lot of sweat. Often wonderful smooth flights with still good thermals in the late afternoon - about 5 pm. In case of constant wind from NE experienced pilots can also take off to NE - but first ask one of the locals/tandem pilots if it is safe enough!! Lower takeoff (pictures 2 & 3) is a bit of a hike from the top, but easy set up. Lower take off is a narrow chute and winds will rotate in there. Watch the winds coming up carefully as there is a rock wall on right side that can cause pain. The classic among flying sites with flights over the royal Neuschwanstein Castle. The Tegelberg Flight Operations Regulations (FBO) must be observed! https://www.tegelbergbahn.de/de/sommer/aktivitaeten/gleitschirm-und-drachenfliegen Preparations for takeoff, such as sorting lines and putting on the harness, must be carried out outside the takeoff area. Then proceed to the takeoff point with the glider folded. Every pilot requires the "green instruction card," available from FLY ROYAL PARAGLIDING (https://fly-royal.de). At the valley station, in addition to the green instruction card, you must also present your pilot's license and proof of insurance, otherwise you will not be allowed to use the cable car. Important: After takeoff, maintain a safe distance from the cable car, the cable car ropes, and the launch site (150 meters)! Be sure to observe the landing areas! These are separate for paragliders and hang gliders. Fly over roads at a minimum height of 10 meters. Tandem flights are regulated by the Tegelbergbahn. Only flights from approved providers with the consent of the Tegelbergbahn may be carried out. Private tandem flights are not permitted. The air traffic control reporting point for the Tegelberg and Buchenberg flying areas is at the FLY ROYAL PARAGLIDING Base & Landing Bar, directly at the Tegelberg landing site.
