When wind is too weak, the launching site of Baldern is usually a good alternative.
Large field just above a little road. Easy. This site is only flyable when the Bise (easterly wind) is blowing. Wind must be 15 - 25 km/h at launch.
Usually one should top land. If one drops out there are fields below take-off. Landing there possible, but not so easy because they are steep and usually landing is cross wind.
Observe the strenght of the wind. Getting blown over the back is not an option.
Site is below TMA of Zurich, Maximal altitude without clearance 1350 Meters asl. which is usually enough for soaring. Please follow instructions from the maintainers (PARAnoia Zurich) which looks after this sensitive site.
