Wiesensteig / Bläsiberg

Wiesensteig / Bläsiberg is a north-facing launch on a ski slope above Wiesensteig in Germany, at around 590 m. Access is supervised rather than open: flying is only permitted with a flight director on-site and by prior arrangement with the local flying school that manages the hill, so this isn't a site to show up at solo and unannounced. There are two usable launch points on the slope — the left-hand side offers about 60 m of vertical, the right-hand side around 110 m — giving a choice depending on conditions and how much height you want for the flight. To find it, head from Gruibingen toward Wiesensteig, turn right at the village entrance, and follow the valley road up to the ski lifts, where the launches sit right on the piste. Being a managed ski-slope site rather than a free-access hill, Wiesensteig rewards pilots who build a relationship with the school running it — that's the route to a flying slot here, not turning up and hoping.

Local rules & hazards

Flying is only permitted with a flight director present and by prior arrangement with the local flying school managing the hill — this is a supervised, access-controlled site, not a free-fly hill.

Check conditions before you fly

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Wiesensteig / Bläsiberg, 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.
