Predigberg Startplatz 3

Predigberg Startplatz 3 is the topmost of several launches above Galtür in the Paznaun valley of Tyrol, Austria, at about 2,383 m, with favorable wind from the east. Like the site's other launches, it's reached via forest roads where vehicle access is restricted to authorized parties only — driving up privately without that authorization isn't permitted. A local flying school runs a shuttle service to the launches, which is how most visiting pilots without their own authorized access get up the mountain. Being the highest of the Predigberg launches, it offers the longest flight down to the shared landing meadow, located just before the village of Tschafein.
