large meadow, easy to start
Large launch site east of the kiosk.
In summer, the Zillertaler Höhenstrasse (toll road) takes you to the two starting points in the kiosk area at the vertex of the Höhenstrasse below the Arbiskopf. The ascent is possible by car, bus or shuttle of the flight school. From here you have many possibilities to get into the Zillertal thermals. If you can't find any updrafts in front of the take-off and above the round, wooded mountain ridge, you can take a look at the Perler beard on the flight path to the landing site, which you can't see from up here, and hope for climb values. Whoever succeeds in entering one of the updrafts will be faced with unforgettable flights along the Zillertal towards the Inn Valley or even into the Pinzgau. A difficult bottleneck here, however, is the Gerlos pass, which is only a side effect. The breathtaking view from the mountain road over the Zilletaler Alps and the main Alpine ridge is a blessing for body and soul, even if it is not possible to fly or only a glider of a mere 1,400 metres is inside. Since the wind conditions at the Melchboden are not well recognizable from the valley, it is also possible to get information from the staff of the snack station (kiosk) (Tel. +43/(0)664 100 30 10).
