Description
At an elevation of 2006 meters, this paragliding site in Switzerland offers a variety of flying experiences, including regular use, soaring, and cross-country (XC) possibilities. The thermal connection is possible in the spring, and landings are typically made at the Zweisimmen airfield. Be cautious not to lose altitude over the village due to the presence of gliders.

Description: Launches can be made from Rinderberg towards the west and northeast. In summer, you can also launch towards the south by walking 5 minutes downhill towards St. Stephan. The site is less favorable with southwest winds coming directly from the summit. Similar to Mülkerblatte Lenk, it is best flown in the early morning.
Access: The gondola provides direct access to both launch sites.
Important: The flying area is within the control zone of the Zweisimmen airfield. Obtaining takeoff permission via phone at +41 33 722 25 77 is essential. During summer, the airfield is busy with gliders (glider camps). The gliders' circling area is above the village.
Wind Direction: Suitable for almost all wind directions, except for southern winds. West launches are possible and can be done in the afternoon.
Landing Zone: Currently, landings at the airfield are not permitted. Exceptions can only be granted by the airfield manager or their deputy (PPR is mandatory for everyone).
