Description

The Stanserhorn, standing at an elevation of 1750-1800 meters, is a notable paragliding site occasionally used for cross-country flights. It offers various take-off options and is known for its good site comfort, featuring an alpine meadow. The primary take-off direction is north, with south-facing starts possible in the morning. Note that this is not a winter flying site. Access to the Stanserhorn is straightforward from Luzern and Stans, using a funicular and cable car to reach the summit. The valley station is well-marked in the village. The landing area is typically in Stans, above the cantonal hospital, marked by a windsock. The Stanserhorn is primarily a delta flying mountain, but paragliders often use the take-off spot at Rinderalp, which is about a 10-minute descent via a hiking trail. This mountain is a classic flying site, with morning flights often starting on the steep grassy slopes facing south. The rotating restaurant at the summit is a must-visit for its stunning panoramic views. Be aware of airspace regulations, as the Stanserhorn is within the CTR Buochs zone. Flights are only permitted with radio communication. Always check the information boards at the cable car station. The take-off site is a steep meadow, located about 10 minutes east of the mountain station. The site is suitable for intermediate pilots due to the steep take-off area and airspace restrictions. The Stanserhorn offers excellent flying conditions, often until sunset, especially with light bise winds. For more details, visit [Airtandem](http://www.airtandem.ch/ff/atff009.html). The Stanserhorn is a prominent summer flying site, with flights typically allowed on weekdays after 17:05 and on weekends. The standard glide flight lands north of the Stans hospital, while thermal flights can head south towards the Titlis area or southwest over the Brünig towards Interlaken. The site is within the CTR Buochs/Alpnach and TMA zones, requiring strict adherence to airspace regulations. Pilots can obtain clearance by contacting the tower via radio on 119.625 MHz or by phone at +41 41 620 91 06. Outside tower operating hours (MO-FR 07:30-12:05 and 13:15-17:05), the area can generally be flown without restrictions, but always verify the current status via the provided phone number. The historic funicular in Stans leads to the cable car station, which takes you directly to the Stanserhorn summit. Pilots often gather at the valley station or the summit restaurant. The take-off site is a steep meadow, and caution is advised during föhn or bise winds. The Stanserhorn is a classic site, with morning flights often starting on the south-facing grassy slopes. Evening thermals over Stans are frequently favorable for soaring.
