Fiss-Ladis (Schönjoch)

Just back from a couple of days in Fiss-Ladis together with Ruth; so just a short flight from 'Schönjoch'  ;-)

Schönjoch

It's a really nice flight area with (for me!) very conveniently located launches and landings: quite close to gondola stations :-) There is also an alternative launch near the middlestation of the 'Schönjoch-Bahn' in case it should be too windy on top.
XC would be possible direction NW (Switzerland (Scuol) or Italy (Nauders, Watles)) and NE (Innsbruck). Going NE one has to pay attention to LOWI (Innsbruck) airspace; violations will be punished with heavy fines :-((
- but I just flew locally for about 40 minutes...

Main LZ

There is another LZ: 'Ried' at the bottom of the valley (near Inn river), but in summer it is very often too windy after 1200 (till about 1800). But in case you land there, there is a bus station nearby in the village to get back to Fiss.

Pano looking South: Fiss
