Transport:

Take-off:
The take-off area is perfect and easy terrain-wise. Avoid stepping on tall grass in June/July. Expect strong updrafts in the afternoon.
Landing Zone:
Frutigen airfield. Usually strong valley winds. Please pay a landing fee of CHF 2 at the hangar.
Mäggisseren is a challenging flying area due to strong valley winds. Mastery of reverse launch is essential. Foot speed must be effective.
