Region: Switzerland Site record: 10.6 km Coordinates: N 46°42.810 / E 007° 16.957 (1400m) Wind directions: N/NE/E Landing Zone: The official landing zone is near Landi, Plaffeien (850m).

Important Notes: - Do not fly in crosswinds. - The launch site is relatively steep and short. - Official landing zones are at Schrapflisbühl and near Landi, Plaffeien (850m). Always land where the grass is mowed and exit high grass areas quickly. Tip: This site is ideal for flying with the Bise wind.

Launch Site Gurli: Closed to cars from November 16th to April 15th. Plaffeien Village: Located on a small plateau surrounded by wooded hills extending to Schwarzsee and the first 2000-meter peaks of the Fribourg Pre-Alps, such as Kaiseregg. Flight Areas: - Gurli: Ideal for Bise wind flights with landing in Plaffeien. - Pfyffe: Can be rewarding with W wind, but only club members are allowed to drive to the launch site (private road). Difficulty: - Be cautious when flying from the Pfyffe launch site in Bise conditions due to turbulence. Fly at the Bise site at Gurli instead.
