Expandable 50-100 kilometer routes in spring for your flight inspiration
3 cross-country flight suggestions of 50 - 100 kilometers
Accurate and thorough preparation is a prerequisite for recognizing dangers and avoiding airspace violations. Here are the most important links for your flight preparation:
DESCRIPTION The Weissenstein is one of the few take-off points in the Jura that can be reached by public transport or by train. It is therefore well attended and a real classic. The flight route leads along the southern foot of the Jura in a westerly direction to the first turning point at the Chasseral. From there, head east back to the Weissenstein. 75 km. The flight can be extended almost as desired on both sides.
BEST TIME Spring
DIRECTIONS By car or public transport to Oberdorf, from there take the gondola to the Weissenstein.
TO KNOW Observe TMA Basel. When the HX TMA is active, you may only turn from Weissenstein towards the east up to 1750m AMSL.
DESCRIPTION Scenic flight par excellence! In the hilly, pre-alpine terrain past the Säntis, then along the Walensee over the Churfirsten to Sargans and back to Toggenburg. The starting point at the Ebenalp is always well attended, so the first tubes are very easy to find thanks to various thermal buoys.
BEST TIME Spring - early Summer
DIRECTIONS By car or public transport to Wasserauen, from there take the gondola to Ebenalp.
TO KNOW Pay attention to the various cables around the Ebenalp.
DESCRIPTION From central Switzerland to the Bernese Oberland. Small-scale but still exciting through Switzerland. Once the Brünig has been mastered, the race track continues along Lake Brienz to Interlaken.
BEST TIME Spring - early Summer
DIRECTIONS By car or public transport to Engelberg, from there take the gondola to Brunni.
TO KNOW Pay attention to the airspace. When there is a bise and strong valley winds, the valley wind flows over the Brünig and creates turbulent conditions in the lee.
