Paragliding Trafoi Furkelhütte

Located below the Ortler mountain, this paragliding site in Trafoi, Italy, is occasionally used and offers thermal soaring with some potential for cross-country (XC) flights. The takeoff altitude is approximately 2190 meters, with a height difference of 662 meters. The site has a moderate usage rating. The region has recorded flights up to 71.9 km, although the longer flights typically originate from Stilfser Joch. Due to the narrow valley, wind conditions must be carefully monitored. Access to the takeoff is facilitated by a chairlift, which you can find more information about at [Ortler Ski Arena](http://www.ortlerskiarena.com/de/trafoi). For accommodation, you can stay at Hotel Schöne Aussicht. Directions: - Via Fernpass / Allgäu: From Fernpass, head towards Imst, then take the highway towards Landeck / Bregenz.
