Every OutDare forecast for this site is compared afterwards with real readings from wind stations nearby (a hit = wind within 5 km/h). This score is measured, not promised. How we measure this
Where it is
Neustift–Elfer, in the Stubai valley, offers two launches on opposite sides of the mountain, so pilots can pick whichever side suits the day's wind. The Elfer lift takes you right to its take-off at 1,750 m for around 10 EUR one-way, or a day pass if you're planning multiple laps; on the other side, the Schlick2000 lift does the same job up at 2,100 m. Both are proper cable-car rides, not hikes, which makes this an easy site to lap repeatedly on a good thermal day. Landing is equally convenient — just a few hundred meters from the gondola station in Neustift, so getting back for another flight barely costs any time. With northeast-favoring wind and genuine cross-country range, it's a solid Stubai valley option whenever conditions line up.

Getting there & local rules

Local rules & hazards

Check conditions before you fly
A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Neustift – Elfer, read the wind and thermals for the site itself, confirm the day's rules with the local club, and remember the standing rule — when in doubt, don't launch. In the free OutDare app you can open Neustift – Elfer with a 7-day forecast built from high-resolution weather models, see who else has been flying, and get there with offline maps.

A day counts as flyable when the surface wind held in your range, from a direction the site flies, with no rain, for at least 2 hours in a row (08:00–20:00) — from hourly 10 m wind over the last 12 months. A seasonal wind guide only: it can't judge gusts, thermals or turbulence, and never replaces the live forecast, airspace checks and your own judgement.
