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
Schattberg above Hinterglemm launches at 2,069 m from beside the Westgipfelhütte, reached by taking the Westgipfel gondola up the mountain. As you step off the gondola, the hut is visible straight ahead, and the takeoff sits just to its right — look for the paragliding sign marking the spot. Wind here comes from a wide range of directions, from north through northeast, south, southwest, west and northwest, giving decent flexibility across a flying day, and the site is popular for thermal and cross-country flying as well as for hikers reaching the summit. Landing is in a large field to the east of Hinterglemm.
Launch & conditions
The launch sits just right of the Westgipfelhütte, visible as soon as you step off the Westgipfel gondola — look for the paragliding sign marking the spot.
Getting there & local rules
Take the Westgipfel gondola up. Landing is in a large field to the east of Hinterglemm.
Check conditions before you fly
A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Schattberg (Hinterglemm), 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 Schattberg (Hinterglemm) 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.
