Live seven-day Alpine flying weather with launch direction, altitude and local site information for Grosse Asitzkopf.
Site briefing
Grosse Asitzkopf is a paragliding launch in the Austrian Alps. Its recorded elevation is 1,772 m and its mapped launch aspects are N, NE, NW. Compare the live forecast at launch with winds aloft, gusts, cloud base, rain and daylight before checking current local access and airspace information.
An excellent launch point to cross the Leogang valley and conect onto the rock-face of the Leogangerstein Massif and from there, the Loffererstein Massif. Flying over these ranges is impressive, indeed!
Lovely grass-covered launch.
In Winter, take the cable-car from either the Salbach or Leogang side. In Summer, take the cable-car from Hütten, then hike up the remaining distance (about 20 minute walk).
The usual hazzards of the Alps: Föhn, thunderstorms, valley winds (thouhg I've never experienced them being very strong).
Be cautious of LO D 22 HOCHFILZEN which extends from ground level to 4267 meters MSL. Though you may legally fly in this zone, be advised this is a military training area using live munitions.
