Mürren

Country: 
Switzerland
Acro over: 
Ground!
Height difference: 
750m

Mürren is without doubt one of the most beautiful and most effective over-the-ground training locations in the world! Mürren is a tiny alpine village located on top of a 700 meter cliff overlooking the breathtaking Lauterbrunnen valley. For rusher it is possible to make 1 flight every 30 minutes, but it will become very stressful. However even for the more chilled pilots the rotation will be 1 hour.

Organized by the Acro Club Berner Oberland (ACBEO) and the Swiss Acro League this contest was held in 2012 and 2013 including the Swiss Championship and an Open that counted for the Aerobatics Paragliding World Cup ranking.
It takes place in Switzerland at Lake Brienz flying from the Axalp take-off site. In 2013 the event and acro box was located at the shores of Brienz town, the opposite valley side as in the 2012 edition.

Walensee - Chäserugg

Country: 
Switzerland
Acro over: 
Water
Height difference: 
1 800m

The Chäserugg peak is situated on the Churfirsten ridge overlooking the Walensee. It's height of 2262 meters ASL offers an elevation of 1800 (!!!) meters from the lake's surface. Since the mountain drops down almost vertically to the south the way out to the water is very short (~2 km) and therefore the site offers about 1400 meters for acro maneuvers! This makes it to be probably the highest over-the-water flying site in the world!
