Ostalb – Skipiste Langert

Ostalb – Skipiste Langert launches from 664 m in Germany, flyable in north, northeast and east wind, following the line of a ski slope that bends 90 degrees between its northern and eastern sections — that bend is a genuine turbulence spot, so treat it with care. Flying here is banned outright whenever the ski lift is running, which limits this to an off-season or after-hours site. When model-aircraft pilots are also flying, coordination between the groups is required to keep operations safe for everyone sharing the hill. The vegetation on the launch and landing areas needs protecting, especially the turf on the steep section of slope, and dumping any waste near the ski runs or the neighboring forest is not allowed.
