Michaelerberg

Michaelerberg is a simple training site in Austria at 1,106 m, flyable in north and northeast wind, with a straightforward grass launch well suited to instruction. The landing field sits right next to the flight-school building that runs the site, and despite the modest height difference here, pilots get a genuinely nice flight with views across the scenic Ennstal valley. The landing areas are generously sized, making for a relaxed, low-pressure flying experience overall. The site is privately leased for the operating flight school's own training use and its club members, so visiting pilots from outside should check the current access and guest rules before planning a flight here rather than assuming open access.

Check conditions before you fly

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Michaelerberg, read the wind and thermals for the site itself, confirm the day's rules with the local club, and remember the standing rule — when in doubt, don't launch. In the free OutDare app you can open Michaelerberg with a 7-day forecast built from high-resolution weather models, see who else has been flying, and get there with offline maps.
