I like this place for several reasons: - VERY friendly people at the chairlift and in the village; - VERY reasonable prices for chairlift; - thermals start early; - very large LZ; - easy for XC: climb to about 2800m, cross the valley and…
From chairlift wlk about 10mins downhill to TO. Thermals start quite early. Nicely sloped meadow; space for 4 or 5 PG's.
Large meadow S of village; windsock(s). AVOID landing in high, uncut grass! Be aware, that the wind can become quite strong in the afternoon (starting already at noon), still almost never faster than your gliding speed.
Chairlift from 'Obertilliach'. timetable: https://obertilliacher-bergbahnen.com/gb/webcam/ >> VERY reasonably priced daily/ weekly passes!
Avoid northerly winds! Starting around noon, the wind in the valley ('Gailtal') can become quite strong!
