Hahnenkamm Kitzbühel Startplatz 2

Hahnenkamm Kitzbühel Startplatz 2 is described as a genuinely special flight over the town of Kitzbühel, Austria, launching from 1,650 m on southeast wind, southwest of the mountain station and its summit restaurants. Both ends of the flight are demanding: the source is explicit that this site calls for some real flying experience, not a first-time or casual outing. The landing reflects that — it's a small field right in the town of Kitzbühel, south of the valley station, and it's described as difficult to approach precisely, so it rewards pilots who can judge a tight final approach with confidence. Hang glider pilots are pointed to a separate, better-suited landing field in the neighboring municipality of Kirchberg instead of the paraglider landing. Between the demanding takeoff positioning, the tight town landing and the site's own warning about needing experience, this is one to fly once you're already comfortable making precision approaches, not a site to learn on.
