Located in the Bern region of Switzerland, this paragliding site offers occasional flights, primarily for enjoyment and panoramic views. The site is situated at an altitude of 1566 meters with a height difference of 1000 meters. The best seasons to fly here are summer and autumn, but it is not suitable during Bise (northeast wind) conditions. To reach the launch site, drive from Brienz to Kurhaus Axalp and then walk for about 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can use the Bergstraße/Postauto and park at Sporthotel Axalp, followed by a 15-minute walk on the mountain road. The launch site is a steep, uneven meadow in a large forest clearing, oriented to the northwest and considered easy to launch from. Coordinates for the launch site are 8.03504463, 46.71654291. Evening flights over Lake Brienz are particularly beautiful, with opportunities to soar towards Axalphorn/Wildgarst. Flights to Meiringen are possible, and in the evening, you can enjoy the return thermals over Lake Brienz. Note that a military railway leads to Axalphorn, and the area is often a turning point for flights from Schynige Platte. Caution is advised as this is a Föhn wind area, and flights from Axalp launch site are strongly discouraged during Bise conditions. The site is within the CTR of the Meiringen military airfield, but flying is usually permitted when military operations are not active. Military flight times are Monday to Friday, 0730-1205 and 1315-1705. Flying in the CTR is only allowed after coordination with the flight service manager and maintaining constant radio contact.
