About Brauneck

Lenggries' cable-car mountain, with four launches for north, south and east winds and a day shaped by when the valley wind arrives.

For intermediate pilots
  • Cable car from Lenggries to four launches
  • Up to 855 m height difference
  • Landing card for guests at the ticket office
  • Hourly train from Munich

The Brauneck (1,555 m) above Lenggries has a cable car with launches for north, south and east wind, and separate landing fields for paragliders and hang gliders. As an early thermal mountain, the valley wind decides which launch suits the moment.
