Top 10 paragliding spots in the Bavarian Alps

From the Allgäu to the Berchtesgaden Alps, the Bavarian Alps run along the Austrian border. Many of their spots have a cable car or chairlift to launch and sit above lakes and wide valleys, from pre-alpine hills to high alpine launches.

The ranking follows the flights our live feed saw start at each spot, so it shows where pilots really fly.

How we rank

By the paraglider and hang glider flights the Open Glider Network saw take off at each spot in the last twelve months. The ranking follows where pilots actually fly and updates as they do; spots without flights follow, those with a guide first, then by height difference. Launch and landing data comes from the DHV site database.
