Description
Located in the Wolfenschiessen region of Switzerland, this paragliding site offers a take-off altitude of 1300 meters. The launch area is a moderately steep meadow, accessible only from October to March, or when the windsock is installed at the take-off site. The site is known for regular use, soaring conditions, and some potential for cross-country flights. It is also reputed to be well-protected from the Foehn wind, but it's advisable to consult with local pilots for current conditions.
To reach the take-off point, take the cable car from Wolfenschiessen to Brändlen. The ride takes about 6 minutes, with two cabins that can each accommodate 4 people. The cost is CHF 8 for a single ride, CHF 35 for a 5-ride pass, and CHF 65 for a 10-ride pass. Tickets can be purchased at the flight school. The cable car operates year-round from 08:00 to 20:00 in an automated self-service mode, so be sure to follow the posted instructions.
The take-off area faces south and is considered of medium difficulty. The coordinates for the launch site are 8.40946479, 46.90279932, and it requires a 10-minute walk from the cable car station.
