Take-off description
There is a ramp for hang gliders. Keep an eye out for the powerlines when you fly to the left.
Getting there
There is a large parking lot next to the old hotel. Use that and walk up the hill for the takeoff.
Weather
Look for light "bise" (Easterly winds). Late afternoon the wind usually turns to the back so beware of that. Note the site has a weatherstation online and can be read through the "Wind Mobile" app.
Comments
More info on http://www.clubalbatros.ch if you read French During the week (later afternoon) and in the weekends a minibus may operate that will take you from the LZ to takeoff for around 10 CHF. This bus is operated by the local club. Ask around.
