Best Conditions
Description
Sölden is primarily a winter flying site. Locals typically fly only in the mornings. During the flying season (summer), there is often a strong valley wind from the north, and in the evening, a strong downdraft from the Rettenbach Glacier. These winds can be associated with severe turbulence.
Flight
Be cautious of the material cable car from Farst, which is located in front of a beautiful south-facing wall that invites soaring.
Difficulty
The launch area is a steep ski slope. The space is just enough to lay out and tension the lines, and it gets steep quickly as you start running. This makes it difficult to abort a launch cleanly. Be cautious, as this is high alpine terrain.
Cable Car: Take the cable car up to the Gaislachkogel. Start directly to the left or right of the mountain station. The space is just enough to lay out and tension the lines, and it gets steep quickly as you start running. This makes it difficult to abort a launch cleanly. Ideal for those who can perform a perfect reverse launch even without headwind.
Landing
Land either across the Ache behind the valley station of the Gaislachkogelbahn in Windau or at the northern end of the village near the Shell station close to the Giggijochbahn. In winter, you usually don't sink as much, and both landing sites are easily accessible.
