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
Luson (Lüsen) launches from 1,625 m in South Tyrol, with takeoff just 50 m behind the Tulperhof hotel — about as short a walk from the car as Alpine launches get. Flyable directions run south-east, south and south-west, and the site supports thermal flying, cross-country routes and hike-and-fly outings depending on how a pilot wants to spend the day. Access by road is straightforward: about 25 minutes' drive from the A22/E45 motorway (the Brenner Autostrada), and roughly an hour from Austria's Stubaital for pilots crossing the border to fly here. It's a convenient, low-fuss site to add to a South Tyrol flying trip — close enough to the main Alpine crossing to fit into a day that also covers other launches in the area.
Launch & conditions
Takeoff is just 50 m behind the Tulperhof hotel.

Check conditions before you fly
A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Luson / Luesen /Lüsen, 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 Luson / Luesen /Lüsen 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.
