Tips for a good flight

The use of take-off and landing sites is at your own risk. Technical equipment and flying skills must meet local requirements. Special requirements, warnings, hazard warnings and announcements over the cable car loudspeakers must be heeded!

  • The airspace above the Unterberg serves as a training and practice area. For safety reasons, it is particularly important to show consideration for any flight school operations.
  • Please use the designated launch sites
  • A safety distance of 70m from the cable cars is absolutely necessary!
  • "Bermuda Triangle" - the only danger in terms of flying; a north/south valley to the west of the Unterberg with no possibility of landing at the bottom of the valley.
  • Report any accidents with details of the location to the lift staff (+43(0)5375-6226-16)
  • Take-off bans and the lifting of the landing ban will be announced via a loudspeaker system! The airspace must be kept clear for the helicopter during rescue operations!
  • Speedgliders prohibited!
