Mürren – 1680

Mürren – 1680 is a paragliding launch above the car-free village of Mürren in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland, sitting at around 1,684 m in the shadow of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The name marks the site by its launch altitude, and the listing only records a single reliable wind direction here: southeast. Beyond that, there isn't much documented about this particular launch — no takeoff description, landing field or local hazards on file — which is unusual for a region as flown as the Bernese Oberland. Switzerland's airspace is genuinely complex around busy alpine valleys like this one, with active danger areas and restrictions that shift, so pilots should check current airspace status before flying rather than assume nothing has changed since this page's data was compiled. Treat this page as a starting point and confirm launch, landing and current rules with a local school or club before your first flight here.

Check conditions before you fly

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Mürren – 1680, 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.
