Startplaces: Switzerland

Mürren

Country: 
Switzerland
Acro over: 
Ground!
Height difference: 
750m

Mürren is without doubt one of the most beautiful and most effective over-the-ground training locations in the world! Mürren is a tiny alpine village located on top of a 700 meter cliff overlooking the breathtaking Lauterbrunnen valley. For rusher it is possible to make 1 flight every 30 minutes, but it will become very stressful. However even for the more chilled pilots the rotation will be 1 hour.

Axalp

Country: 
Switzerland
Acro over: 
Water
Height difference: 
1 020m

The Axalp is sutiated above Lake Brienz, near Interlaken.

Walensee - Chäserugg

Country: 
Switzerland
Acro over: 
Water
Height difference: 
1 800m

The Chäserugg peak is situated on the Churfirsten ridge overlooking the Walensee. It's height of 2262 meters ASL offers an elevation of 1800 (!!!) meters from the lake's surface. Since the mountain drops down almost vertically to the south the way out to the water is very short (~2 km) and therefore the site offers about 1400 meters for acro maneuvers! This makes it to be probably the highest over-the-water flying site in the world!

Walensee - Schrina

Country: 
Switzerland
Acro over: 
Water
Height difference: 
800m

The Schrina take-off is overlooking the beautiful Walensee in Eastern-Switzerland. There are many SIV trainings hosted here however the altitude over the water is really not that good!

Monte Tamaro

Country: 
Switzerland
Acro over: 
Ground!
Height difference: 
1 050m

Mount Tamaro is good for training Acro in the morning. The Startplace is just 20meters away from the station. The landing field is about 50m away from the station. So you can do many flight's in a short time. There is no water.

Safety-Info's:
Take care of the valley-wind. After 12-13o'clock it can be strong and cause turbulences at the landing place. If you're already airborne and you notice that the wind is strong at the landing field, so you can fly to the south to Bironico. There is a big grass field beside the highway.
