Planning information for Skrzyczne
Take-off
There are 3 takeoffs.<br/> 1) N-NE about 50m down the black ski piste from the chairlift top station. Grassy lane with a lot of space, relatively flat. Start is very easy.<br/> 2) NE-SE a small spot East of the above launch. Quite steep. The launch is small (space for 2-3 wings) so on crowded days please do all prelaunch preparations on the North lane. Start is easy with E wind.<br/> 3) N-NW about 50m down the red ski piste from the chairlift top station. A lane with some grass and rocks, relatively flat. Start is easy with N-NNW directions, but may be challenging with more west wind (hazard of rotor from nearby trees).<br/> Launching from ski pistes during the skiing season is prohibited.
Landing
Make sure you visit the landing before going up - it is small and not visible from launch. It is located on 'Kaimówka', a skiing slope available for landing (outside the skiing season).<br/> There are a lot of other lanes near the landing, which can be used in emergency situations. Landing is moderately challenging, not suitable for HG. Alternatively flatlands east of Skrzyczne can be used for landing (particularly for HG). Not in all weather conditions they are reachable for paragliders without thermaling.
Access and parking
A chairlift from the center of Szczyrk to the top of Skrzyczne is available.
