Amisbühl Startplatz 2 (Bergbo)

Amisbühl Startplatz 2 (Bergbo) is a grassy Swiss paraglider launch at about 1,280 m, facing southeast to south — the kind of clean, open meadow takeoff that makes a straightforward first climb of the day. Getting there is easy without a car: postbus, private car or the local shuttle bus all run to Waldegg, and from there signposts point the way toward Amisbühl. Park at the hiking car park and it's roughly a 10-minute walk on foot to the launch itself, so the approach is short even without lift access. Landing is at Niederhorn Landeplatz 1. Between the short walk-in and the wide-open SE-to-S window, this is a good option for pilots who want a low-friction launch without sacrificing a real mountain view — just confirm the shuttle timetable before you rely on it for the return trip down.
