On good days very busy, space on the gondola must be previously reserved - especially for parties > 2 pilots!

Two launch sites: -'Eggli'(1650m): about 200 meters to the SE of the top of the cable car; - 'Hoernli' (1800m): on top of the mountain about 20 Minutes uphill. Both sites are easy and large enough for many pilots. HG's use 'Eggli' - 'Gruesch': official landing zone in the valley; marked with a wind-sock; - 'Schiers': >> see picture - 'Fanas' (only Oct-March)!! above gondolastation -PG only! (>> see picture) From Zuerich in direction of Chur, turn off in Landquart in direction Klosters/Davos; via Gruesch to Fanas (limited parking space only!!). Better: leave car in 'Schiers' and take bus to 'Fanas' Gondola does NOT run 1200-1300! Bus timetable: http://www.sbb.ch Gondola: http://www.fanas.ch/infras... Airspaces in Switzerland are a tough subject, get all the info you can get before flying: http://www.flyland.ch. DABS (active danger areas etc): http://www.skybriefing.com...

Not recommended when wind is strong NW to NE. Do not fly when 'Foehn' is blowing or predicted. 'Foehn' is a strong, turbulent (south-)wind over the Alps due to large pressure differential between south and north side of Alps. ('Nordfoehn' in Ticino/ northern Italy also exists! and is normally even more turbulent)
