Reuti Sandhubel

Reuti Sandhubel is a paragliding launch above Reuti in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland, at around 1,165 m, flying on southwest wind. It's rated for thermal, soaring and hike-to-launch flying, which points to a spot pilots reach on foot and then use for both ridge lift and thermic climbs depending on the day, rather than a lift-served or flatland site. At just over 1,100 m, it sits at the lower end of the region's alpine launches, which usually means an easier walk in and a shorter, more approachable flying day than the bigger Oberland peaks nearby. The listed detail beyond the basics is thin — no recorded access route, landing field or local hazards — so treat this page as a starting point. Confirm the current hike-in route, landing zone and any local restrictions with a Bernese Oberland flying school or club before your first visit.

Check conditions before you fly

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