Allgäu Paragliding Sites

1-seater / Training Altitude 910m

The launch site for kites and paragliders is approx. 70 m below the terrace of the mountain station. Do not allow to move over the ridge in northerly winds. Leesituation with west impact! No flying over Wintergatter from 01.11.-15.05. Lunch is allowed for hang gliders and paragliders and is thermally interesting in spring. A great mountain in the evening with calm soaring conditions. Beautiful views of the lowlands and the Allgäu high Alps to the south. Ascent with chair lift from Immenstadt. The main launch site is the northeast start (alpine meadow approx. 70 m below the terrace). Next to the NO launch site there is a south-, northwest- and a terrace launch site. There is a winter gate for red deer to the west. This must not be flown over. In addition, a game feeding system is in operation on the south side in winter, which must not be flown over between Dec. and April. The main landing site for paragliders and hang-gliders is on the plateau between Ettensberg and Altmummen. The landing site can also become turbulent in strong winds. Landing on the meadows directly at the valley station of the Mittagbahn is prohibited. Residents file charges with the police. Attention: No parking at the Tannenhof!

It is to fly away from the ropes of the mountain railway. Pay attention to paragliders and hang-gliders taking off below. There is sufficient distance to be maintained. 4. training flights to the A-licence are only permitted under flawless and laminar conditions at the main take-off site "Alter Schlepplift". Students must have completed at least 25 high-altitude flights in other airfields. A flight instructor with radio communication is required at the take-off and landing areas. 5. the wilderness areas at the Immenstädter Horn and on the Mittag-Süd side below the Alpe Oberberg are to be avoided. 6. the landing places are to be approached in time and with sufficient altitude. 7 Every pilot is obliged to visit the Ettensberg landing site before his first flight. 8. landing site Ettensberg: When planning your flight you have to pay attention to stronger wind or thermals in the landing area. 9. landing place Ettensberg: A landing division with position (left volte) must be kept, since mixed flight operation HG and GS takes place. 10. Ettensberg landing site: The landing areas may not be used for winding exercises during flight operations. 1- and 2-seater / Training 1- and 2-seater Altitude 1381m

The Paragliding Academy Chris Geist GmbH is towing here on the Agathazell gliding airfield with a modern roll-off winch. The course is thermally well suited and is ideal for training flights. The location at the Grünten is fantastic. Flight operations by arrangement. If you feel like it, you can fly with gliders or motor gliders. On weekends the restaurant is open. www.agathazell.info/ www.paragliding-academy.com Mixed flight operations of hang-gliders and gliders with aeroplanes are not permitted. 1- and 2-seater / Training 1- and 2-seater / Training Altitude 728m

No guest flight operation possible! The certification is only valid for the flight school! www.flugschule-milz.de 1-seater / Training 1-seater / Training Altitude 1460m

The site is operated by the owners association Fluggelände Hörnerbahn (flight school Markus Milz - www.flugschule-milz.de and Oase flight school Peter Geg GmbH - https://www.oase-paragliding.com/ ). Countless flight students have been trained at the Weiherkopf. The slopes offer a height difference of up to 500 m. Urgent note: In winter, the landing area at the valley station on the part of the Hörnerbahn may not be used because of the many snow lances and skiers. Then only use the landing area at the golf course.

Launch direction: East The launch site is located directly west of the railroad line (1320 m), the kite ramp directly east of the mountain station. Flight information: The valley wind system often changes from west to east in the afternoon, allowing for beautiful soaring flights. Soaring usually takes place on the slightly upstream crest (windsock on fir tree clearly visible). In the evening there are often reversing thermals over the valley. Access: South of Hindelang on the outskirts of the village is the 8-seater Hornbahn gondola.

Take-off direction: W-SW The launch site is a relatively short, steep grassy slope, directly at the windsock at 1470 m, above the summit cross. Crosswinds can cause dangerous empty rotors!!! You should only launch from the front when the wind is perfect. From the other side of the slope you can rarely take off to the S-SE-E (flat meadow, but somewhat obstructed by trees). Flight info: Best time of year is spring and fall; good starting point for cross-country flights. Access: see "Walk and Fly" Short takeoff to the west. East launch site no longer usable due to vegetation. Info and current wind values at www.ostrachtaler-gleitschirmflieger.de 1. the "Kräherwand" (to the east) and the "Kellerwand" (to the south) of the Hirschberg summit may only be flown over with take-off superelevation. 2. take-offs from Hirschberg are only permitted in a westerly direction. 3. in order to avoid disturbing grouse, take-offs from the Spieser take-off site (parcel 818, coordinates N 47°31'38'', E 10°23'23'') during the mating season from March 1 to May 31 may only take place from 9 a.m. until sunset. A p p l i c a t i o n s (landing site bus station) 1. the approach (position) must always be to the south. 2. the final approach must be in a westerly or easterly direction parallel to the road. 3. sufficient safety distance from the road must be maintained. 1-seater with limited LFS 1-seater with limited LFS Altitude 1652m
