The headquarters are also located at Höhematte, in the Kunsthaus, 50 metres from the landing site. Link on Google-Maps to the HQ.
The bistro is open in the afternoon, with a bar, food and music.

Registration will be in the event -hall.

Parking

Please be aware that the underground car park directly at the HQ is very expensive. The large car parks at Interlaken East Train Station (link on Google-Maps) are cheaper (we all will take the train to Grindelwald at Interlaken East).

Retrieve

The retrieve is organised exclusively by public transport. It is supported by minibuses that shuttle the pilots to the nearest railway station if possible.

The easiest way to do this is to install the SBB Mobile app. However, you can also organise your return journey to Interlaken on online timetable.

Interlaken and Grindelwald are among the best flying areas in the world for paragliding competitions. So it is only natural that the paragliding scene, together with the Swiss League of the Swiss Hang Gliding Association, regularly organises competitions here. We are proud to be organising a World Cup in May 2024 for the second time since 2008.

The Highlights:

Excellent flying opportunities with varied and tactically interesting daily tasks
Often good weather with good flying conditions for paragliding
Take-off and flight in the sensational high alpine scenery of the Eiger-Mönch-Jungfrau, Schilthorn and…
… the lakes with their pre-alpine ambience
Landing in the heart of Interlaken, the Swiss hotspot for action&fans and starting point for a variety of mountain & nature experiences
The organising committee consists of the two local clubs Jungfrau-Taechi Grindelwald, Deltaclub Interlaken and the Swiss League.
