Take-off description

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.

Getting there

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.
