Davos – Parsenn – Hoehenweg – 2200

Davos Parsenn – Höhenweg – 2200 launches from beside the middle station of the Parsennbahn in Switzerland's Graubünden, about 150 m north of the station at 2,200 m. The takeoff is described as easy and works in both summer and winter, with the surrounding terrain good for thermal and soaring flights. There's one seasonal restriction worth knowing before you plan a trip: Davos closes its entire airspace during the World Economic Forum (WEF) each year, so check the current calendar before flying here in that window. Swiss airspace is a genuinely complex topic more broadly, so gather what you can on the current picture before any flight. The Seewiese landing beside Lake Davos is closed — do not plan to land there; use an alternative landing field instead.
