About Mittag

Immenstadt's home mountain: a chairlift, launches for three wind directions and smooth evening soaring.

Beginner-friendly

The Mittag above Immenstadt is the Allgäu's all-rounder. A chairlift runs up from town, and launches for north-east, south and west winds mean something usually works.

In spring the south-facing slopes set off early thermals; on calm summer evenings the main north-east launch turns into a soaring ridge. The view reaches from the flatlands to the Allgäu High Alps.

The main landing field is at Ettensberg; a second one lies by the Kleiner Alpsee. Read the site rules before your first flight, especially about lee in crosswind and distance to the lifts.
