Unternberg Nord

Natural launch site for GS and HG. Not a lot of space. In stronger winds, it is better to lay out a little further down. Be careful if the windsock indicates a crosswind from the right. A dangerous roll will then form, which can lead to rattling immediately after take-off. The Unternberg offers good thermals. Super view into the lowlands and the Alps. In the afternoon, the wind usually blows reliably from the north. In the evening you can soar quite reliably on the Unternberg. With a little altitude it is enough to jump over the valley to the Rauschberg. South launch site is challenging due to trees in front of it, only suitable for experienced pilots. Practice slopes: Two flight schools operate at Unternberg: Flugschule Freiraum GmbH / Luftikus (http://freiraum-info.de/) Flugschule Flugcenter Ruhpolding (http://www.flugcenter-ruhpolding.de/) Take-offs and landings at the practice slopes only in coordination with the flight schools. http://www.dcb-ruhpolding.de/ 1. northwest takeoff: Sufficient distance must be kept from the chairlift at all times. 2. south take-off: All pilots need a detailed danger briefing (e.g. via an information board or a briefing by club members). If there is a danger of turbulence in the aisle (e.g. crosswind or onset of valley wind from the north), take-offs are not permitted. Conditions must be such that safe landing can be expected. Take-offs must be made in good time and with sufficient altitude. Training operations at the south take-off may not be started if the wind force exceeds 10 km/h. Wind direction indicators must be installed in the aisle and at exposed points. 3. landing meadow Bärngschwendt: Sufficient distance to the roadway must be kept at all times. Landing pilots must ensure that there is no danger to vehicles / persons. The respective use of the meadow parts is to be coordinated with the farmer. 1- and 2-seater / Training 1- and 2-seater / Training http://www.unternberg.de/ Altitude 1381m

Grubigstein 1

Depending on wind direction in the top. The easiest is to take off with east or north wind from the ski slopes itself. South take off where there are a couple of wind stripes is quite steep and technical, there's almost no place to run. So it's a matter of putting the wing in the air and fly, which for some pilots and depending on the conditions can be a problem. The launch sites are located at the lift station and are easily accessible in just a few steps. All launch sites, except West, are easy launch sites and suitable for beginners. The starting points are not far from the summit station. Opposite the Zugspitze lies this relatively unknown flying area. It offers starting possibilities in almost every direction.

Hörnle

Leave the cable car to the left and walk under the cable car across. The launch site is a few meters off to the right and a little lower down. A windsock is available. It is an airstrip launch. There are also ropes from a tow lift on the left, but there is plenty of space. 3 to 4 gliders can be laid out comfortably. The alpine meadow has an ideal slope. Unfortunately, launching is prohibited here when there are cattle. Then you have to go a little further down to the lower launch site. No launches allowed at the summit cross! No launches allowed in the direction of the chairlift! Observe minimum distance! No take-offs in strong westerly or easterly winds! Slope take-off - i.e. turbulence with sideways wind directions! In case of pasture operation, take-offs are only allowed within the fenced-off area (pasture fence) and no cows are allowed in the take-off and departure area! A perfect mountain for pleasure flying and Hike&Fly. A chairlift transports pilots relaxed to the top. The beginner-friendly launch site is only 50 m from the summit station. Take-offs only with wind from northern directions! If there is grazing at the upper take-off site, take-offs are only allowed within the fenced-off area (pasture fence) and there must be no cows in the take-off and departure area!

Hochfelln Oststart

Flat meadow takeoff, often limited in time. Not suitable for beginners, as particularly long way to all landing sites. Cross-country airfield. Attractive mountain for cross-country pilots. Since the east launch site offers good thermals very early, routes as far as Pinzgau and back are possible. The gliding distance from the north launch site to the landing site at the valley station is very long. Therefore you have to take off in time. Emergency landing areas are rare. http://www.fellnflieger.de/ 1. north and north-west take-off: Below the ridge height, the overflight to the west is limited by the material ropeway. Flights beyond that may only be made with a significant take-off superelevation above the ridge. (2) Departure for Bergen shall be in good time and at an adequate altitude. 3. do not fly over the "Strohnschneid" when flying north. 4. for en-route flights to the south, the 'Gröhrkopf' and the 'Haaralmschneid' shall be flown over at a height of at least 200 metres. Flight times in this area are limited (10:00 to 14:00). 5. for flights eastbound (towards Ruhpolding), an overflight height of at least 300 m shall be maintained. The "Strohnschneid" should not be flown. 6. contour flights in the area of the take-off positions are to be omitted. 1- and 2-seater 1-seater with limited LFS Altitude 1665m

Seefelder Joch West

This site is mostly used in the mornings. In the afternoon the nearby Härmlekopf site is preferred instead. In the morning, the sun strikes the eastern launch behind this launch, and can produce lee-side thermals which can be used to fly over to Härmlekopf and beyond.

Nordkette 2

From the middle station of the cable car (Seegrube) at the restaurant, head west past the chairlift (approx. 150 m) and up the slope to the first small plateau (approx. 50 m)! There you will find the south-facing launch site. Watch out for the avalanche barriers to the west and the blasting rope to the east of the launch site. Directly above the small ledge in front of the launch site, thermals are released. When strong thermals develop in spring, you should take off early (before 12:30 pm), as the thermals suck in a lot of air masses and otherwise you will have a tailwind at the launch site. Note the ropes. Foehn susceptible situation. Further starting place: meadow slope east of the Seegrube The approach and departure at Innsbruck Airport must never be affected by hang gliders and paragliders. Therefore, it is mandatory to use the landing areas at the foot of the Nordkette. Never fly into the middle of the valley. This endangers the entire flight area. The take-off and landing areas are located within the CTR Innsbruck! Within the CTR Innsbruck a so-called gliding sector has been defined, which is however only temporarily cleared by the Austro Control air traffic control center Innsbruck. Clearance info: +43-51703-4631; ATIS 126.025 MHz. There is an agreement between the air traffic control center Innsbruck and the local hang gliding and paragliding clubs, under which conditions flying in the cleared gliding sector (max. 8000 ft) is only allowed for club members (and with appropriate instruction). Even if the glider sector within the CTR is only used as part of a cross-country flight (without take-off or landing within the CTR), it is necessary to ask the air traffic control in Innsbruck beforehand whether the glider sector has been cleared!

Mellbeck

50 m height difference About 3 to 4 gliders can be launched at the same time. The launch site is initially quite flat, but then drops steeply. As the steep slope became increasingly overgrown with brambles and other undesirable shrubs, the landowner was forced to have the slope grazed by Scottish Highland cattle. It was therefore necessary to erect fences and restrict the width of the starting slope to around 50 meters. Below the slope, an approx. 10 meter wide drift was created so that the animals could reach the watering hole. This drift must be flown over. The fences were mainly made of flexible plastic poles and plastic strand and should therefore not pose any risk of injury to the pilots. To ensure that the take-off slope can also be grazed, it is closed in June and October. Flights are not possible during this period. However, the take-off area and the landing field can then be used for practice flights. Care must be taken when crossing the cattle pasture at the passages in the fence when the animals are present, as mother cows want to protect their calves if you get too close to them. The flying area may be used by a maximum of 15 people at any one time. 1. parking is possible on the left side of the path on the fenced-off part of the meadow, in front of the hedge. 2. the flying site may only be used by a maximum of 15 people at any one time. 4. the use of the areas for flight operations is only permitted from 10:00 to 20:00. 5. the well shaft cover located on the site must be covered with straw or other cushioning material during flight operations to prevent pilot injuries. This must be pointed out to the pilots during the briefing. 7 During flight operations, a sufficient safety distance must be maintained from the neighboring wind turbine. 1- and 2-seater / Training 1-seater with limited LFS Altitude 315m
