Parapente Mont Soleil

Located in the Bernese Jura region of Switzerland, Mont Soleil in St Imier offers a medium-difficult paragliding experience. The take-off site is situated at an elevation of 1173 meters and is accessible via a funicular railway. The launch area is quite small, accommodating either one tandem glider or a maximum of two solo gliders at a time. This site is not recommended for beginners or inexperienced pilots due to the short and challenging take-off area. The take-off direction is primarily southeast and south, and the local wind system plays a crucial role in determining the best time to launch. The site has a record flight distance of 59.4 km, indicating the potential for cross-country flights. Coordinates for the take-off site are 6.993984, 47.158457, and it is just a one-minute walk from the funicular station. The launch area is grassy, providing a decent surface for take-off, but space is limited. For more detailed information, you can visit [ParaglidingEarth](https://www.paraglidingearth.com).
