Feldis – Mutta – 1980

Feldis–Mutta is a hike-friendly launch above Feldis in canton Graubünden, Switzerland, at 1,980 m, working on south-west through west to north-west winds. You can reach it by gondola from Rhäzüns to Feldis, then a chairlift further up, or simply walk the whole way if you'd rather earn the altitude. The one weather word attached to this site, flagged emphatically in the local notes, is Föhn — this is a genuinely Föhn-prone launch, and that wind can turn strong and unpredictable with little warning, so treat any Föhn forecast here as a serious go/no-go signal rather than a minor factor. Swiss airspace in this region is also complex, so get a full briefing before flying. Between the lift access and the hike option, it suits a range of approaches, but the Föhn risk is the fact to plan around.
