Balderen

Demanding, as it is narrow and drops steeply at the edge of the drop-off (landslide zone) (cliff launch!). In any case, we recommend a good command of the back take-off and an active flying style after take-off. How to get there: By car or train from Zurich to Leimbach; in Leimbach towards the retirement home (clearly visible high buildings), before the retirement home turn right towards Uetliberg, after approx. 200m the landing site with windsock is clearly visible. Parking lot: please note the regulations with the farmer Do not forget: Use the kettle to maintain the flying area. Landing and parking fee Fr. 5.00 per flight Further information about the flying area and the annual pass can be obtained from the Zurich Paragliding Club: www.pgzh.ch Small clearing on ridge. Just wide enough for one paraglider. Wind has to be easterly (so called Bise) between about 15 and 25 kmh. The take-off area is small, so a skillful reverse take-off technique is an advantage. As only one pilot can launch at a time, launch preparations must be carried out next to the launch site. Then pick up the glider and go to the launch site ready to fly. Start window: Bise No access by cars. Parking at the landing site. By public transport: Bus to Leimbach, Im Hüsli, and walk for about half an hour. Or take the cable car Adliswil-Felsenegg and walk comfortably on the ridge path for about 20 minutes. 1- and 2-seater 1- and 2-seater Altitude 736m

Grindelwald First

From Grindelwald take the cable car up to First. From there it is a 2-minute walk along the access path to the launch site, 100m below the First restaurant. The launch site is very large and even, without stones or obstacles. Many national and international competitions have been held here. The most beautiful flights in the Jungfrau region can be made from here. You can take off in three different directions. The wind usually comes up the slope thermally. It is advisable to launch in a southerly or south-westerly direction (normal launch direction) or easterly. When launching in a westerly direction over the cliff, it is important to take into account the possibility of an early abort and a lot of practice is required. Thermal entry directly in front of the launch site or to the west at the Waldspitz. Use is free of charge. The local Jungfrau Taechi club is the operator and authorized instructor. Suitability Normal take-off time 9:00-18:00. Thermals from 10:00 am. Can be launched and flown in all normal weather conditions. Partly crosswind. Also suitable for beginners and large groups. huge TO area, suited for all levels; easy access by gondola from Grindelwald, TOP-landing also possible... Large and wide take-off slope. Top landing: Possible for experienced pilots. Attention! Turbulence is to be expected! Weather station: +41 79 388 1022 Deltas have not been transported up since spring 2010 for technical reasons. Gondola spacing reduced. Possible the evening before or by appointment. An equally good alternative is the Waldspitz launch site. Huge meadow launch site below the mountain station of the First mountain railway. The First near Grindelwald is one of the best thermal spots. The thermals can be correspondingly strong on some days. The First cable car takes you from the centre of Grindelwald to the magnificent Wiesestartplatz a few metres below the mountain station. The starting place is wide, big and forgiving. The fantastic panorama seduces to distraction. One should not underestimate in any case the long flight path to the landing place in Grund. If the flight altitude is not sufficient to reach the landing site for whatever reason, you can land at the Bodmi landing site. The landing site is next to the cable car. During the ascent it is easy to see after the first masts. The landing site is demanding and therefore only recommended for experienced pilots. Grindelwald Tourism Village road 110 P.O.

St. Cergue

Small takeoff on a medium slope, SE to SW, difficult. There are two Holfuy beacons installed for this launch site. The one called "Déco St-Cergue" indicates the wind at the bottom of the launch site and should be mainly oriented SW. A second beacon, called "St-Cergue Fréterette", is located on a plain above the take-off site, and provides information on dangerous and undetected wind inflows at the take-off site, i.e. from W to E via the N. Ideally, both beacons should indicate approximately the same direction. Also consult the Dôle beacon for information on prevailing winds. All 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.

Alp Scheidegg

In recent years, Alp Scheidegg has developed into the most attractive flying site in the greater Zurich area. The Delta Club Zuercher Oberland, which has been looking after the flying area for more than 35 years now, maintains an excellent infrastructure with a spacious take-off area right next to the Alp Scheidegg restaurant. 4 spacious landing sites are available in the valley, allowing deltas and paragliders to land safely. In Hueebli, the most frequented landing site, there are free parking spaces rented by the club. On Alp Scheidegg there are signposted pilot parking spaces in the immediate vicinity of the launch site. These must be used, vehicles may not be parked in the restaurant parking lots. Due to the limited number of parking spaces, carpooling is recommended. In order to be able to meet the various needs of the pilots in the best possible way, the club offers a: day ticket for CHF 10, an annual ticket for CHF 50.- as well as the existing Club membership in the 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.

Niederbauen

The Niederbauen, is a very simple flying area with a very large, continuously steepening launch site. Except in case of foehn or foehn tendency, any wind direction is possible even in moderate to strong winds thanks to the sheltered location. Basically, there is always a light thermal north-westerly wind in summer anyway (ideal starting point)! Huge TO; just a few steps from gondola/ restaurant. Large meadow flank that quickly drops steeply. Perhaps the most beautiful airfield on Lake Lucerne. The village of Emmetten is situated on a half-height site. The starting point is directly next to the top station of the cable car. On the large meadow launch site you start directly in the direction of the deep blue water. According to the exposition one often finds best flight or soaring conditions in the late afternoon. In summer the cable car runs until 19.00 o'clock. The landing place looks difficult at first sight, because it is strongly inclined. Nevertheless, it is relatively easy to approach and, depending on the prevailing valley wind situation, also equipped with a sufficiently long glide path.

Braendlen

Take the cable car from Wolfenschiessen to Braendlen. 6 min travel time, 2 cabins for 4 people, Fr. 8.- for an ascent (cash must be correctly counted and deposited), Fr. 35.- for a 5-person subscription, Fr. 65.- for a 10-person subscription (subscriptions available at the flying school), in operation all year round from 08.00 to 20.00, automatic self-service operation (follow instructions). The launch site is a small, medium-steep meadow. From the Brändlenbahn mountain station in Wolfenschiessen, the route leads to the small launch site past a farm. The launch site is only a few minutes' walk on a steep meadow to the left above the mountain station. To enjoy the sunset atmosphere the Brändlen above Wolfenschiessen offers itself. Comfortably you can soar towards the darkness. From 15 o'clock the valley wind should stand on the mountain. The start becomes difficult if the valley wind is too strong or the combination of valley wind and embedded thermals pushes the slope up by force.
