Skiliftgelände Hausen a.d.L. / Trieb

Skiliftgelände Hausen a.d.L. / Trieb is a training site in Baden-Württemberg, southern Germany, with a launch at 827 m worked mostly on a northeast wind. As the name says, it is built around a ski lift slope: pilots use the lift hill and its run-out area as both launch and flying ground, which keeps the terrain predictable and forgiving — one reason clubs favour it for teaching. Flying is only allowed when conditions genuinely support a safe flight, and that standard is applied strictly during instruction. Anyone running a training day has to keep participants parked in the designated school area rather than spreading out over the hillside, and flying is confined to the lift slope and its run-out zone as mapped by the site rules. Flying over people is not allowed, and pilots must keep a generous safety margin from the ski lift itself on the site's southeast side. Training flights stop entirely once the lift is running for winter skiing.

Launch & conditions

Launch is on the ski lift slope, working on a northeast wind; the run-out area below doubles as part of the flying ground. Keep a generous safety margin from the lift line.

Local rules & hazards

Flying is only permitted when weather conditions allow a safe flight, a standard applied strictly to training. Organisers must keep students parked in the designated school area, and flying is confined to the ski lift slope and run-out zone as mapped by the site's own plans. Flying over people is not allowed, and a generous safety margin from the ski lift on the southeast side of the site must be kept at all times; no training or practice flights are allowed while the lift is running for winter skiing.

Check conditions before you fly

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Skiliftgelände Hausen a.d.L. / Trieb, 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.
