Flying Area

Bischlinghöhe Launch Site: Located right next to the mountain station and the Bischlinghöhe Inn at 1,815 m.

• Easy access
• Favourable winds
• Ideal for both beginners and advanced pilots

Launch area: almost flat meadow facing southwest–west–northwest; also well-suited for hang-gliders due to sufficient length and steeper slope at the back.

North Launch Site: Another optimal grassy start, about 90 m north of the IKARUS mountain station. Used in northeast, east, and southeast winds. Large enough for 4–5 paragliders to take off at the same time.

The official landing site is located directly on the road to the valley station, on the left-hand side. From here it’s less than 400 m to the gondola. Paragliders can easily walk back to the valley station with their gear.

The landing field measures over two hectares and slopes to the west (the usual wind direction). If thermal conditions make the landing meadow insufficient, it is also possible to land in the next meadow toward Werfenweng.

• Use only approved launch and landing sites
• Follow the information posted at launch areas
• Halte dich an die vereinbarten Regelungen
• Stick to agreed rules and avoid designated wildlife “quiet zones”
• Fly as high as possible and keep a large distance from slopes
• Avoid gliding along rock walls (often nesting areas for rare birds or habitats for chamois)
• Avoid low flights over ridges and terrain edges
• If you spot wildlife, keep calm and quickly leave the area
• Take extra care during the breeding and rearing season (March–July)
• Avoid flights at dusk
