Description
Wyssebärg, standing at 1995 meters, is an excellent spot for local soaring in the late afternoon. Flights here are rarely logged, making it a quieter choice for paragliders.
Located in Switzerland, the site record is 4.0 km, while the nearby region boasts a flight record of 50.3 km. For more information, visit [Gleitschirmclub Obersimmental](http://www.gcobersimmental.ch/joom/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=20&Itemid=43).
The Wyssebärg is ideally positioned in the valley wind, making it perfect for flights later in the day. To reach the launch site, drive from the village of Lenk towards Gutenbrunnen and continue straight at Gütsch. Circle around Wyssebärg to approach the launch site from the back. You can also join local pilots for guidance.
Be aware that this flying site is within the control zone of the former military airfield St. Stephan, which is occasionally used by small aircraft. Set your radio frequency to 120.050 to request flight clearance when aircraft are nearby.
The primary landing site is Lischmatte in the village of Lenk. It is a large, easy landing area with a windsock located over the tennis court and on the landing field itself. Note that the landing site is only active when a meadow is mowed. If no meadow is mowed, please land in another mowed field. Skilled pilots often land back at the launch site and drive back. Always check the information board for updates.
If you can't reach Lischmatte, use the alternative landing site Aegerten, located on the west side of the valley along the side road. This large, easy landing area also has a windsock and is only active when the meadow is mowed.
