Fürmannalm / Irlberg Anger

Fürmannalm, also known as Irlberg Anger, is a northeast-facing launch at around 860 m that's genuinely shared airspace with model aircraft flying — coordinating with the model pilots before you fly is simple but essential here. The takeoff area itself is split: model flying operates to the left as you face your launch direction, paragliders and hang gliders launch from the right. When model flying is active, soaring the slope together isn't allowed — free flyers head straight down to the landing field instead, and toplanding is off the table while models are up. Low passes over houses and people are forbidden outright, and the site sits close enough to a highway that keeping distance matters. At the landing field itself, avoid coming down in tall grass and steer clear of the riding facility nearby. Parking right at the landing area should be avoided entirely — use the hiking car park in Anger by the Stoißerache instead.

Launch & conditions

Northeast-facing launch at about 860 m; the takeoff area is split with model flying on the left (facing your launch direction) and paragliders/hang gliders on the right — coordinate with model pilots before flying.

Getting there & local rules

Avoid parking right at the landing area — use the hiking car park in Anger by the Stoißerache instead.

Local rules & hazards

When model flying is active, joint slope soaring isn't allowed — head straight to the landing field instead, and skip toplanding while models are up. Low overflight of houses and people is forbidden, and keep distance from the nearby highway. At the landing field, avoid coming down in tall grass and stay clear of the riding facility next to it.

Check conditions before you fly

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Fürmannalm / Irlberg Anger, 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.
