Alp Staetz – 2130

Alp Stätz launches at about 2,130 m, facing east through south, and is genuinely built for hike-and-fly: reach it by chairlift from Churwalden up to Alp Stätz, or walk up from Parpan or Churwalden if you'd rather earn the view. Föhn is a serious factor in this part of Graubünden, so checking the Föhn forecast specifically, not just a general wind outlook, matters before committing to a flight here. As with Swiss sites generally, it's worth checking current airspace and active danger-area information before flying rather than relying on what you knew last season. Between the chairlift-or-hike choice and the open east-to-south exposure, it's a flexible high-alpine option provided the Föhn picture looks clean.
