Take-off description
Nice grassy hillside, oriented towards northwest.
Getting there
There's a small cable car from Niederurnen to Morgenholz. From there, it's a 1-2 hours hike to the top.
Weather
Flyable with wind directions from NW to NE. Be mindful of the potentially strong valley winds around Niederurnen! In doubt, land to the northwest of Niederurnen. DO NOT land near the cable car station in Niederurnen, there is a dangerous rotor!
Rules / airspace
Launch forbidden from 21.12. to 30.06. (wildlife preservation zone). Obey airspaces (there's an airstrip in Schänis, see https://www.shv-fsvl.ch/fileadmin/files/redakteure/Allgemein/Sicherheit/Luftraum/CTRTMA/Sonderregelung_LSZX.pdf).
