Description
Ruedlen is located below Arvigrat and above Kerns in the canton of Obwalden. The take-off site is at an altitude of 1279 meters and is occasionally used for soaring and cross-country flights. Top landing is possible.
The take-off area is a slightly rough alpine meadow with good comfort. The orientation is west, making it less suitable for winter flights. To get there, drive from Sarnen to Kerns, then take the mountain road towards Aecherlipass. About halfway up, turn sharply right towards Ruedlen. After approximately 400 meters, you will reach the take-off site.
Landing options include Kerns Sand or Kerns Dossenmatte. Note that the Ruedlen take-off site is used by several flight schools, especially for hang gliding training. Always check the flight information board at the take-off site for specific regulations.
In strong bise (north-east wind) conditions, the take-off site can be dangerous due to rotor formation caused by the trees. In such cases, follow the road 400 meters uphill to find better take-off spots in open meadows.
Thermals can be found in the afternoon over the forest edge to the right of the take-off site. Soaring is possible with moderate west winds. For landing in Sand, you will enter the CTR Buochs-Alpnach airspace halfway through the flight. During operational hours, you must request flight permission on 119.625 MHz.
Access is primarily by car. From Kerns, head towards Aecherlipass, and at the Ruedlen sign, turn sharply right. The take-off site is about 400 meters to the right under the road. The alpine meadow is also suitable for hang gliding.
