About Osterfelder

High-alpine launches on the Osterfelderkopf, reached by cable car, with 1,308 m of height difference to the valley at Garmisch.

For advanced pilots
  • Alpspitzbahn cable car to 2,033 m
  • Main launch at 2,038 m, east to south
  • 1,308 m height difference to valley
  • Briefing compulsory at east launches

The Osterfelderkopf (2,057 m) lies near the Alpspitzbahn top station; launches sit at about 2,000 m, landing is in the valley at 730 m. The DGFW holds the site. Blasting cables run close to the launches, and the Reintal to the south has hardly any landing options.
