Neunerköpfle (Neunerkopfle – Tannheim)

Neunerköpfle, above Tannheim in Austria, sits at about 1,803 m with a wide wind window running from north through southwest, west and northwest — several distinct launches sit right beside the gondola station, so pilots can pick whichever matches the day's wind rather than relying on a single takeoff. It's rated for thermals, cross-country and hike-up flying, giving it real range beyond a quick local flight. Getting up is easy: the gondola from Tannheim gets you most of the way, with just a few minutes' walk to the launches themselves. Landing is at a huge LZ, marked with windsocks, just north of the main road and parking, and only about five minutes' walk back to the gondola station — a genuinely convenient loop from lift to launch to landing. A large info board at the landing zone carries the site's current local rules, worth a read before your first flight here.
