Paragliding Riggisalp

Located in the Fribourg region of Switzerland, this paragliding site offers a takeoff altitude of 1475 meters with a height difference of 400 meters, making it a medium-easy site to fly. The site is regularly used for soaring and panoramic flights, with some potential for cross-country (XC) flying. Access to the takeoff point is convenient via a chairlift. The takeoff orientation ranges from 285° to 360°, making it suitable for northwest to north winds. The site record for distance is 32.8 km. The landing zone is at Schwarzsee, situated at an altitude of 1050 meters. The landing area is easy to navigate, but parking at the landing site is not allowed. The walk from the landing zone to the takeoff point is approximately 3 minutes. The site is operational year-round, as long as the chairlift is running. During winter, the takeoff area is on a ski slope, so caution is advised to avoid skiers. The start window is oriented northwest and is easy to manage, located directly below the mountain station. Coordinates for the takeoff point are 7.29407134, 46.65935901, with a short 2-minute walk from the lift.
