Description
Located in Liechtenstein, the Foppa takeoff is a popular spot for paragliding enthusiasts. The takeoff is situated at an altitude of 1,350 meters and offers a height difference of 900 meters. Accessible via public bus, the site is known for its convenience and scenic views.
The takeoff area is a grassy slope next to the mountain road from Mesescha, with parking available at Gaflei. The slope's gradient makes it easier to launch even with light winds. However, pilots should be cautious of potential turbulence near the forest edge, especially during north winds.
The region is suitable for both soaring and cross-country flights. The site record stands at 20.9 km. The landing zone is located in Vaduz, making it a straightforward descent.
Public buses, specifically lines 21 and 22, provide access to the takeoff point. Pilots can request a stop between the Abzweigung Silum and Gaflei Matu stops. While driving is an option, parking is limited.
Be aware of the valley winds, which can be strong in the Rhine Valley, especially with north winds. Avoid flying during Föhn conditions and be cautious of turbulent south winds, which can quickly escalate to storm conditions.
