...fly, free as a bird - without any risk. This presupposes good instruction, of course. A hang glider can be taken to any mountain, and starting is easy and is possible from almost any mountain meadow. Just a few steps - and you´re up in the sky, gliding towards the valley. Today´s modern hang gliders allow for flying times of several hours and for distances of 50 kilometers and more.
The right school with the right offer.
Introductory courses, tandem flights, security trainings, complete flying instruction - here you get everything:
The Andelsbuch/Bezau "Niedere" region is one of Europe´s finest hang-gliding regions!
Most of the hang gliders who regularly fly in the region of Bezau and Andelsbuch during summer know little about the qualities of the region as a winter resort, though. The south-facing slopes of the Winterstaude, just above Bezau, is especially attractive during winter: no obstacles, soaring fun galore! The north-facing starting places of the Andelsbucher Niedere area, with its perfect wind conditions (owing to the microclimate of the nearby Lake Constance) are easily accessible even in winter.
The major hang-gliding area in winter, however, is the Diedamskopf, which is also popular among paragliders. In summer, the Diedamskopf is a popular XC starting place for hang-gliders.
