Site briefing
Fisetengrat is a paragliding launch in the Swiss Alps. Its recorded elevation is 2,026 m and its mapped launch aspects are N. Compare the live forecast at launch with winds aloft, gusts, cloud base, rain and daylight before checking current local access and airspace information.
Near gondola station or along the ridge. There are multiple nice spots to take off. The takeoff towards NW is easy and safe. If there are southerly winds you can also start towards SE, but it's quite steep.
NOT an official LZ! Avoid landing on fields with uncut grass! Use LZ in Linthal (Braunwald: http://paragliding.earth/?site=7669)
Gondola or Hike from Urnerboden. There is a bus from Linthal / Flüelen to Urnerboden. Note that you may need to wait a while at the gondola because it's quite small. When you show up and buy the ticket, you will be told your "time slot". There's a restaurant right above the gondola station where you can wait for your slot.
