Bärensolspitz

Bärensolspitz is a Swiss walk-in paragliding launch at about 1,812 m, facing southeast to south. There's no lift here: reaching the takeoff from the landing area is roughly a 2.5-hour walk, so this is a proper hike-and-fly commitment rather than a lift-served afternoon flight. There's also a specific airspace arrangement to know about before you go — the site sits close to Mollis airfield, and a special coexistence agreement applies between the two, so check the current airspace picture rather than assuming open sky. Landing is at the dedicated Bärensolspitz Landeplatz 1, the same spot the long walk up begins from. Between the multi-hour approach and the airfield coordination required, this is a site for pilots planning a full day rather than a quick evening flight.

Check conditions before you fly

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Bärensolspitz, 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 Bärensolspitz with a 7-day forecast built from high-resolution weather models, see who else has been flying, and get there with offline maps.
