Description
The paragliding site in Niederau, Austria, is highly frequented and ideal for training, beginners, and those returning to the sport. The main take-off point is widely used and offers excellent conditions for soaring and training flights. It's a simple area, perfect for relaxed flying, with some potential for small cross-country flights, although it's not primarily known for long-distance flying.
The site record for this location is 106.0 km, and the nearby flight record is 93.4 km. The terrain is well-suited for paragliders and is an approved training ground. The take-off area is a grassy slope, which is rolled in winter, and is located about a 3-minute walk from the top station of the cable car. There are parking facilities at the valley station or near the Harfenwirt.
The Wildschönau area is excellent for beginners and leisure pilots. It is not affected by the Inntal valley wind, making it a favorable location. There is a large take-off meadow directly below a serviced mountain hut and a spacious landing field, ensuring a relaxed flight experience. The site is used by the Wildschönau Flight School for altitude flight training, and the infrastructure is outstanding.

The area has minimal thermals and weak valley winds, making it suitable for calm, effortless gliding rather than extensive cross-country flights. The external conditions are comfortable, with a cable car station conveniently located near the landing and take-off areas.
