Takeoff description
Takeoff is close to the mountain station of Lazid Mountain (where ever you want). Wind sock is available on one of the poles of the cable car - but not to be seen from some takeoffs. All takeoff directions are easy. When flying without thermal, check that you have at least 300m above the middle Station - if not, do not try to fly to Serfaus but land upon the meadows of the middle station. There is enough space to land. Check cables...
